John 20:11-18

In this episode of Pastor Talk, we dive into one of the most intimate and surprising moments in the Gospel of John—Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ. As she grieves at the tomb, she mistakes Jesus for the gardener—until he calls her by name. What follows is a profound exchange that redefines relationship, faith, and the mission of the church. Clint and Michael explore the theological shock of women being the first witnesses to the resurrection, the mysterious nature of the resurrected Jesus, and the deep spiritual significance of being known by name. This powerful scene reminds us that resurrection is not just an event—it’s a personal call to see, believe, and share the good news.
