## Resource

Jason sits down with Noel and Jordan to unpack Easter weekend, from the challenge of preaching to a mixed crowd of regular attenders, first-time guests, and “Christmas and Easter” visitors to the joy of seeing lives changed through baptism. They reflect on why the Easter message does not need a fresh twist as much as it needs a clear, faithful retelling, and they compare the different ways Noel and Jordan approached that same central question: Is it worth it to follow Jesus? The conversation also highlights what has made the MSU venue so remarkable this year, especially the clarity students are finding in following Jesus and the unusual number of baptisms that have come from that community. At the end, they talk about Jordan entering the final stage of the elder process and what it means for Riverview to recognize someone God has already shaped for pastoral ministry.
