The First Thursday: When Doubt Speaks

The tomb is empty.Jesus is alive.But what happens when you weren’t there to see it?What happens when others believe… and you’re not so sure?In this episode, you step into what we’re calling the “first Thursday”—not a day Scripture names, but the moment when doubt begins to rise after the resurrection.📖 John 20:24 tells us Thomas wasn’t in the room when Jesus first appeared.He missed the moment.He missed the evidence.And when others told him—📖 “We have seen the Lord!” (John 20:25)—he struggled to believe.Sound familiar?This episode explores the reality that even after the resurrection:• Doubt can surface 🤔• Questions can linger ⏳• Faith can feel out of reach 🌫️And yet—Jesus doesn’t avoid that space.📖 John 20:27 shows us something powerful:Jesus meets Thomas directly in his doubt.✨ Not with rejection✨ Not with frustration✨ But with invitation“Don’t be faithless, but believe.”And Thomas responds:📖 “My Lord and my God!” — John 20:28🔥 Doubt didn’t disqualify him🔥 It became the doorway to deeper beliefThen comes a word that reaches all the way to you:📖 “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” — John 20:29➡️ You weren’t in the room➡️ You didn’t see the scars➡️ But the invitation is still yoursIf you’ve ever wrestled with doubt… this episode is for you.Subscribe to the Jesus Company podcast NOW, its on all the podcast Tag us!🔗 Listen, subscribe, and leave a review to help others find Jesus CompanySubscribe to Jesus Company podcast now! 📲❤️Here are some helpful linksJesus Company on Apple PodcastsJesus Company on SpotifyJesus Comany on Amazon MusicJesus Company on Deezer🔗 transformthiscity.org📱 @JesusCoOfficial on X | Search "Jesus Company" on your podcast app📱 Connect with Us:💻 Website: Jesus Company is the home base for the podcast, and there are some additional links to podcast players that host the show!💻 Website: gwot.rocks home page 📺 YouTube: "Other Things with...
