Previous Episode: Imagine S4.E6 - Conversion takes time. Ask the disciples on the road to Emmaus

Next Episode: Imagine S4.E8. - Paul's dramatic encounter with Jesus changed him–and the world

From the very beginning, people doubted the resurrection of Jesus. In this episode of Imagine, we’ll focus on one apostle, Thomas, who couldn't bring himself to believe the testimony of the other disciples who had encountered the risen Jesus.
The story of "doubting Thomas" is found only in the Gospel of John. When the other disciples tell him they encountered the risen Jesus, Thomas says that he would only believe if he could see Jesus for himself and place his hands in his wounds. The next time Jesus appears to them, Thomas is there and Jesus invites him to touch his wounds. Jesus shows his compassion by giving Thomas exactly what he needed. This reminds us that each story of calling and conversion is unique, including our own, because Jesus seeks to meet us wherever we are on our journey.
