Christ Is Risen—and Everything Changes: The Theology of Paschaltide
From Made to Be a Kingdom by Fr. Anthony Perkins, Fr. Harry Linsinbigler, and Ancient Faith Ministries
May 8, 2026
About this episode
Fathers Anthony Perkins and Harry Linsenbigler discuss how Pascha serves as a transformative period in the Church's liturgical calendar, emphasizing the significance of the Resurrection and its implications for the faithful.
In this episode of Made to be a Kingdom, Fathers Anthony Perkins and Harry Linsenbigler explore how Pascha functions as the Church’s great “reset,” reordering the liturgical year and illuminating the rhythm of Scripture and worship. Beginning with the proclamation of the Word in Gospel of John and the witness of Acts of the Apostles, they trace how the Church reads the Resurrection through the weeks of Paschaltide, culminating in Ascension and Pentecost. The conversation highlights how the healing narratives—such as the Paralytic, the Samaritan Woman, and the Man Born Blind—reveal the Resurrection already at work in the life of the faithful. Grounded in hymnography and liturgical practice, this episode offers a pastoral and theological guide to living the “fifty days” as a sustained participation in the light and life of the risen Christ. Enjoy the show!
