    111. He Is Risen! - Monday

    111. He Is Risen!Monday - April 6, 2026 On Easter, God proved that the power of life and love is stronger than anything. When we show love, we are wielding a true super power. Discussion Question(s) • Do you think a story where love is the most powerful force of all would end in a good way or bad way, and why? Prayer Dear God, we thank you for the message of Easter - that your life and love are the best and most powerful forces in the universe. We thank you too that you allow us to be a part of how you love the world. Show us where we can make a difference today. Amen.

    110. Good Friday - Friday

    110. Good FridayFriday - April 3, 2026 As Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, we see that Jesus allows himself to die on the cross, not because he wanted to, but because he loved us so much and trusted God to be faithful. We also wrap up the entire season of Lent with some reflection questions. Discussion Question(s) • Of the themes we’ve looked at over the last six weeks, which is easiest for you and which is hardest? • As you think back over the events of Holy Week, which part do you wish you could’ve been there for? • Is there anything you’d like to say to Jesus? Prayer Dear God, we thank you for the time we’ve spent preparing our hearts for Easter. It’s about so much more than celebrating a holiday with baskets of eggs and candy. It’s an opportunity to remember that you love us more than anyone else ever could, and that you proved your love for us by giving up your life. May we see it, believe it, and be transformed by it. Amen. Episode Music: Hold this Place by Alice In Winter --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories! We love featuring listener submissions!

    109. A Memorable MealThursday - April 2, 2026 Dan shares about a special meal with family before telling the story of Jesus’s Last Supper. It was a night of dirty feet, broken bread, and a love so big it changed how we gather around every table. Discussion Question(s) • Can you think of a special experience you’ve had with your family or friends? How did it make you feel? Prayer Dear God, we thank you for special meals and special people. When we are in meaningful moments, help us to slow down enough to recognize it. And may your generosity toward us inspire us to love others as you have loved us. Amen.

    107. Why Did Jesus Do It? - Tuesday

    107. Why Did Jesus Do It?Tuesday - March 31, 2026 Dan walks through three ways the Bible helps us understand why Jesus died — as a gift of love, a bridge that brings us close to God, and a daring rescue plan. Even when the answers aren’t simple, God’s love shines through. Discussion Question(s) • Did any of these ideas - that God loves us, that God builds a bridge to reach us, or that God had a great rescue plan - sound good to you? • Do you want to learn more about any of them? Prayer Dear God, we thank you for everything Jesus did for us. We all probably still have lots of questions, but that doesn’t bother you. If you loved us enough to rescue us, you surely love us enough to be patient as we learn and grow. Amen. Episode Music: Great Is Thy Faithfulness by Marie --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories!
