Welcome to Day 33 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Abosede Oriolowo as they reflect on a familiar yet often misunderstood moment in John 20:24–30 — the story of “Doubting Thomas.”

Thomas is often remembered for his disbelief, but as Abosede and Tim discuss, he was perhaps the most honest of the disciples. He didn’t pretend to believe — he wanted to see for himself. And Jesus meets him there, not with rebuke, but with compassion and clarity.

Abosede draws out a powerful lesson: we are allowed to ask questions, to seek truth, to want our faith to be grounded in reality. Like the Berean Christians, we are called to examine, to wrestle, to search the Scriptures. And Jesus honours that search with his presence.

Thomas’s story reminds us that faith is not blind. It’s a personal, reasoned response to encountering the risen Christ. And when Thomas does see Jesus for himself, his declaration — “My Lord and my God!” — becomes one of the clearest confessions of faith in all the gospels.

Join them in praying for a personal encounter with Jesus that dispels doubt, strengthens faith, and leads others to belief. Just a few days left — see you tomorrow for Day 34.
