What can we learn from the women who were first to see the risen Jesus? In this post-Easter episode of Met in the Mess, we reflect on their faith, courage, and devotion.

We talk about what it looks like to seek Jesus even in grief, confusion, and uncertainty—and how God meets us in those moments.

If you’re walking through a hard season or longing to feel closer to Jesus, this episode will encourage your faith.
