I know how easy it is to rush right past it—we’ve heard the story, we know how it ends—but I hope we’re all pausing and stepping back to consider Holy Week again with fresh eyes. On the podcast today is one of my faves—a pastor from my church, Steve Frissell. We’re covering everything from workout routines that involve picking things up and putting them down (his = weights, mine = snacks and Diet Dr. Pepper) to a full family scandal involving brownies disguised as protein bars. We also hit all the important Easter topics—Cadbury eggs vs. Peeps, why egg decorating with that tiny wire handle is the fastest way to lose your sanctification, and whether anyone can truly pull off seersucker (jury’s still out). Steve also walks us through Holy Week—from the crowd yelling “Hosanna” to Jesus’ crucifixion a few short days later. And practically, we discuss how if Jesus isn’t functionally King in our lives, something else likely is. Approval, control, comfort, anxiety—those things will gladly take the throne, and they’re terrible at the job. So this episode is a mix of laughs, Easter nostalgia, and a really honest look at what it means to crown Jesus as King of Kings in our everyday lives. Can’t wait for you to listen while you’re making deviled eggs and glazing the Easter Ham. Blessings!
