About this episode

The episode invites listeners to deeply reflect on the significance of the cross before celebrating Easter.

This week we’re stepping into one of the heaviest moments in Scripture Instead of a normal sermon, we’re inviting you to experience it differently. Don’t just watch this. Feel it. As you listen, do something that requires effort—go for a run, work out, clean, or finish something you’ve been putting off. Let the weight you feel remind you of the weight Christ carried. We’re so quick to rush to Easter. But if we don’t slow down here, we won’t understand what it cost. Take time today to sit in the reality of the cross. Before we celebrate the empty tomb… we remember.
