159: Peter's Denial: Frailty, Forgiveness, and Jesus' Unwavering Love

Mar 21, 2025 • Rohan Bell, Jeanie Schwarz

In this emotional and deeply personal episode of Talking Bible, Pastor Rohan Bell and Jeannie Schwarz explore one of the most painful and profound moments in the Gospels—Peter's denial of Jesus. How could Peter—Jesus’ closest disciple—deny Him not once, but three times? And why did Jesus still choose to entrust Peter with building His church despite this failure?

👉 In this episode, we explore:

🐓 Why does each Gospel record Peter’s denial differently? What does this reveal about the event?

❤️ Why did Jesus pray for Peter, even though He knew Peter would deny Him?

🛡️ Did Jesus’ authority over demons extend to human free will—or was Peter's denial inevitable?

🌍 What does Jesus’ response to Peter’s failure teach us about forgiveness and redemption?

🔥 How does Jesus’ unwavering love empower us to move beyond failure and fulfil His purpose for our lives?

Peter’s story is a powerful reminder that failure is not final with Jesus. Even in our weakness, Jesus sees our potential—and He meets us in our brokenness with forgiveness and purpose.

✨ This episode will encourage anyone who has ever struggled with failure or doubt. Don’t miss it!
