In this powerful episode of I Overcome, Jim and Sherri dive into the final moments of Jesus’ earthly ministry—the Ascension—and what it means for us today. As they kick off their new series Ascend, they explore Acts 1 and Luke 24, uncovering the divine call Jesus left for His followers: to be His witnesses locally, regionally, and to the ends of the earth. With real talk, personal stories, and deep biblical insight, this conversation challenges listeners to live missionally, embrace the power of the Holy Spirit, and recognize that the work of witnessing isn’t just for pastors—it’s for everyone. If you’ve ever felt unequipped or unsure about your role in God's plan, this episode will inspire and embolden you to step into your calling.

In this moving episode of I Overcome, Jim and Sherry take listeners deep into the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to Peter in John 21:15–19—a powerful story of failure, guilt, redemption, and restoration. With raw honesty and biblical insight, they explore how Peter’s three-time denial is met by Jesus’ threefold invitation to love and lead: “Feed my sheep.” This episode highlights the heart of Jesus as He gently but firmly initiates Peter’s healing, refusing to let shame define his future.

Jim and Sherry reflect on how Jesus calls each of us to confront hidden guilt, unresolved pain, and personal failure—not to shame us, but to restore and recommission us. Listeners will find encouragement in the message that no mistake is too great for God’s grace, and that restoration always leads to renewed purpose.

With raw honesty, Rev. Jim shares personal stories of standing up against injustice, navigating church politics, and learning to rely on the Holy Spirit in moments of risk and resistance. Whether you’re facing opposition in your workplace, marriage, or spiritual community, this message will encourage you to rise in courage, obedience, and unshakable faith in the risen Christ.

Today we explore themes of redemption, the beauty of small acts of obedience, and the deep intimacy Jesus offers when we feel disqualified or distant. This episode encourages believers to “face Easter again,” to let go of old habits, and to embrace even the simplest instructions from God—like casting the net on the other side of the boat. Sometimes the miracle is just one small act of faith away.

Whether you're feeling lost, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of your calling, this message is a timely reminder: Jesus meets you in your emptiness, calls you by name, and prepares abundance on the shore.
