Amen Podcast

We spent years in Matthew. And it ends here — not with a theology lecture, but with eleven doubting disciples on a mountain, a risen Jesus who doesn’t rebuke them, and a commission that changed the world.

Matthew 28:16–20 is the final exhale of the greatest story ever told. And the thing that hits hardest isn’t the Great Commission itself — it’s who Jesus gives it to. Doubters. Men who walked with Him for three years, watched Him die, heard the women say He was alive, and still showed up to that mountain unsure of what they were even looking at.
And Jesus says: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go.
In this episode we ask the question nobody wants to sit with — what is doubt actually costing you? Not just spiritually. In your marriage, your calling, your obedience, your worship. Because doubt isn’t neutral. If doubt takes root, death still reigns. Whatever you’re doubting God about — that thing has taken the throne. And the only cure isn’t more effort. It’s looking at the authority of Christ and saying to everything else: you’re not my dad.
We also get into the Trinity — why Jesus is equal in divinity but subordinate in function, what it means that a human being is seated on the throne right now, and why the resurrection is the proof that the one with all authority over your life actually loves you and wasn’t forced.
We close with the commission: Go. Baptize. Make disciples. Teach. And the promise underneath all of it — I am with you always, to the end of the age.
This is the end of Matthew. And it’s just the beginning.

The religious leaders just heard the news — Jesus is risen. So they bribe the guards, spread a lie, and use every political connection they have to bury it.
None of it works.
In this episode we’re in Matthew 28:11–15 looking at three ways people try to move God — bribery, dishonesty, and policy — and why every single one fails. Because you cannot stop what God has already done.
If God is immovable, then in Christ, neither are you.

The tomb is empty. That changes everything.
On the first Easter morning, two women showed up looking for a funeral — and got invited to a party. In this message from Matthew 28:1-10, we unpack three things the empty tomb means for your life today: you’re invited (not out of obligation, but love), God doesn’t just intervene — He gets involved, and His love for you is invincible.
If the tomb lacks a body, you lack nothing.
