On this special edition of Sunrise with Shona on HOT 102.7FM, Reverend Shona reflects on a powerful and deeply moving time in the Christian calendar — the first Sunday after Easter. From the passing of Pope Francis on Easter Monday to the timeless hope of the Resurrection, Shona weaves together two extraordinary post-Resurrection stories: the walk to Emmaus and Jesus’ appearance to the disciples. She explores how fear, confusion, and doubt are met with compassion, peace, and unwavering love. Shona reminds us to recognize Jesus in our daily lives, to break free from expectations that blind us, and to carry God's peace into a hurting world.

If you’re looking for a message of hope, compassion, and renewed faith, this is a journey you’ll want to take.
