He Is Risen — And That Changes Everything

The crowd at the tomb that first Easter morning left with fear and great joy — and honestly, that tension feels pretty familiar. In this week's episode, Discipleship Pastor Jennifer Davis sits down with Pastor Mike Day and Associate Pastor Melissa Perry to reflect on the resurrection and why it's still the hinge point of everything we believe.

They talk about the women who showed up at the tomb, why their presence matters more than we might realize, and what it means that Jesus entrusted the greatest news in history to them first. From there, the conversation turns to why the crucifixion and resurrection have to be held together — and how the resurrection isn't just our hope for eternity, but the catalyst for real life change now.

They close with a refreshingly honest conversation about sharing your faith.

If Easter left you full, this episode will help you carry it forward.

In this Palm Sunday conversation, Discipleship Pastor Jennifer Davis sits down with Pastor Mike Day and Associate Pastor Melissa Perry to reflect on Matthew 21 and what the triumphal entry and temple cleansing reveal about who Jesus truly is. Together, they explore the question the crowd asked that day — "Who is this?" — and why the answer still challenges and surprises us.

The conversation digs into the tension between the Jesus people want and the Jesus revealed in scripture, and how cultural noise, polarizing issues, and busy lives can pull us away from discovering Him for ourselves. They also unpack the parables of the talents and the sheep and goats, and what it actually looks like to follow Jesus when there's no margin left in your day — offering a practical, grace-filled perspective on awareness, family ministry, and making room for what matters most.

Whether you're a longtime believer or still figuring out who Jesus is, this episode is an honest and grounding conversation as we step into Holy Week with fresh eyes on the One we're following toward Easter.
