About this listen
Description:
The surgeon delivers the words that shatter everything: "Sorry, Peter didn't make it."
In this devastating final chapter, we witness the raw reality of grief. We watch Thomas flee the hospital in a state of dissociation and end up at a lake, screaming his rage at a God he isn't sure exists. We explore the "Intrusion of the Cross"—how the image of a suffering God forces its way into our darkest moments—and the heroic choice to reject the poison of resentment.
Finally, Thomas opens Peter’s last letter, revealing the question that defines the entire journey: "Is it because of Jesus?"
In this episode:
- The Trauma Response: Why we shut down or run away when tragedy strikes.
- The Primal Scream: When rage at God is actually a sign of love.
- The Intrusion of the Cross: Why sacrificial love cannot be explained, only demonstrated.
- The Choice Against Resentment: Honoring the dead by refusing to become bitter.
- The Centurion: Finding the Son of God in the moment of ultimate defeat.
