  • For Those Grieving This Easter

    For Those Grieving This Easter
    Mar 25 2026
    Grief during Easter can feel overwhelming, especially when the season of celebration highlights the absence of someone you love. While Easter centers on the resurrection of Jesus and the promise of new life, it can also stir deep sorrow and longing. John 16:22 reminds us that although we experience grief now, a day is coming when our sorrow will turn to unshakable joy. This devotional gently acknowledges the tension between grief and hope. It affirms that mourning is not a lack of faith but a reflection of love. Even as we carry the weight of loss, Easter invites us to hold onto the promise that Jesus has overcome death. Because of Him, grief is not the end of the story—restoration, reunion, and eternal joy are ahead. Highlights Easter can intensify grief as it reminds us of loved ones who are no longer hereGrief is a natural and meaningful expression of deep loveKnowing a loved one is with God doesn’t remove the pain of their absenceJesus acknowledges our grief while promising future joy and restorationEaster offers hope because Christ has overcome sin and deathWe can grieve and worship at the same time—God welcomes bothHealing begins when we bring our honest emotions before the LordThe promise of eternity gives us hope for reunion and lasting joy This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Many of us experience immense grief, pain, and sorrow. Because of the annual tradition of leaving flowers on the graves of our loved ones on Good Friday, it can be difficult to return to a heart of celebration. Every year since my mom passed away, my family and I have taken flowers to her grave. I cannot fully explain what this experience feels like, but over time, it can leave you feeling empty inside. It doesn’t feel right knowing that your mother is buried beneath the ground. This is a pain I wish no one had to experience, yet most of us will face it at some point in our lives. My mom passed away when I was a teenager, but I believe the pain of losing a loved one is intense, no matter your age. Even if your parents pass away when you are much older, it is still painful to say goodbye. This is because death is not natural. It was never part of God’s original design for humanity to die. He created us to live forever. However, the fall of humankind changed everything (Genesis 3). Since that moment, we have had to live in a world marked by sin, pain, suffering, illness, and death. While I know my mom is in Heaven with God, I still miss her deeply, and the pain can be overwhelming at times. Just because we know our loved ones are in a better place does not mean our grief disappears. Here on earth, we still feel their absence. There will never be another Easter where my mom is physically with me. She didn’t see me graduate from college. She never saw me drive my first car, and she will not see the rest of my life unfold. Perhaps you are experiencing your first Easter without someone you love, and grief feels especially heavy on your heart. Intersecting Faith & Life: Jesus tells us, “So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy” (John 16:22). Even though Easter can remind us of our pain, it also reminds us of the beautiful salvation we have through Jesus. Death entered the world, but Jesus has overcome it (1 Corinthians 15:55-58). Praise the Lord that we do not have to live without the hope of seeing our loved ones again. We will see them again, and no one will ever take away our joy. As Jesus said, now may be our time of grief. In this present season, we must allow grief to exist within us. This is something I have had to learn. I no longer see grief as an enemy. Instead, it reminds me of how deeply I love my mom. I will not see her again in this life, but I will see her again in Heaven. When we reflect on this truth, the weight of sorrow begins to lift because we have eternity to look forward to. This Easter, remember Jesus’ amazing grace and how He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into His Kingdom (Colossians 1:13-14). On Easter, we can grieve, but we can also worship God. Even through tears, we can...

  • When Love Took the Lowest Place

    When Love Took the Lowest Place
    Mar 29 2026
    Biblical humility and servant leadership are beautifully displayed in Philippians 2:5-8, where Jesus models a radically different view of greatness—one rooted in love, sacrifice, and selflessness. Rather than clinging to His divine status, Jesus chose to humble Himself, taking on the role of a servant and ultimately giving His life on the cross. This passage challenges the way we view power, status, and what it truly means to love others. Through a personal story and powerful reflection, this devotional reminds us that the lowest places—often the ones we avoid—can become the greatest opportunities to demonstrate Christlike love. When we shift our mindset from self-importance to selfless service, we begin to reflect the heart of Jesus in our everyday relationships. True love isn’t about convenience—it’s about willingness to serve, even when it costs us something. Highlights Jesus redefined greatness by choosing humility and servanthood over status and powerTrue love is often expressed through simple, lowly acts of servicePride can keep us from opportunities to love others wellHumility means thinking of others more, not thinking less of ourselvesServing others becomes natural when we are motivated by genuine loveLetting go of comfort and control draws us closer to God’s heartThe “mindset of Christ” transforms how we approach relationships and daily interactions This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Whether we're helping people pay off their unsecured debt or offering assistance to those behind in their mortgage payments. https://trinitycredit.org Full Transcript Below: When Love Took the Lowest PlaceBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!” – Philippians 2:5-8, NIV When I was in college, I took a job at a fast food restaurant to supplement the income from my journalism internship because I wanted extra money for a trip. I quit after only 3 weeks – as soon as I earned the amount I needed for the trip – because I felt like the job was beneath me. But reflecting on it now, I can see how that humbling experience was valuable. As you can imagine, cleaning a public restroom in a fast-food restaurant was never pleasant. But years later, when God led me to clean a restroom for a family member battling cancer, I was grateful I learned that sometimes the lowest tasks are connected to the highest ways of showing love. Sometimes we think that if we have power or status, we should use it to make our lives easier. We may refuse to do lowly jobs at work or at home because we have a higher job position than others on our team, or a higher status in our family than others. But Philippians 2:5-8 shows us a picture of Jesus that turns our ideas of greatness upside down. Jesus had the highest power and status possible – he was equal with God. Yet, Jesus didn’t use that power and status for himself. Instead, he “made himself nothing.” In some translations, it says he “emptied himself.” Jesus poured out his rights and his comfort so that he could fill our greatest need. When Jesus came from heaven to earth, he went from being in a perfect environment where he had everything he could ever want to dealing with human needs in a fallen world, where he would experience the full range of suffering we go through here. Jesus made that choice because of his love for his creation – including us. Love motivated Jesus to come to earth to pay for humanity’s sins himself, so we could connect with a holy God and be saved. When Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, he was the highest person in the room, yet he chose the lowest task. Why did Jesus, the King of Kings, become a servant? It was because he saw us. Jesus saw that we were broken, lost, and separated from God by our sin. He knew that the only way to reach us was to come down to where we were. True humility involves thinking of ourselves less and thinking of others more. Serving others is something we’ll naturally want to do if we’re motivated by love. When we love people, we don’t mind doing lowly jobs to help them. Parents don’t mind changing diapers because they love their babies. Friends don’t mind driving across town late at night to help a ...

  • When You Don't Have a Church Community This Easter

    When You Don't Have a Church Community This Easter
    Mar 28 2026
    This devotional highlights the importance of intentional, Christ-centered community—not perfect people, but faithful ones who pursue Jesus together. Even when relationships feel messy or uncomfortable, God uses them to strengthen our faith, bring healing, and encourage us in ways we can’t experience on our own. If you’re in a season without a church community, this is an invitation to reflect, rebuild, and take one step toward the relationships God has prepared for you. Highlights Church community can be difficult to build, especially after past hurt, busy seasons, or constant life changesGenuine Christian relationships require vulnerability, trust, and letting go of self-protectionHealing from church wounds is possible—and often leads to deeper, more meaningful community laterYou don’t need perfect people—you need people who genuinely pursue Jesus, even imperfectlyStrong community isn’t found by accident; it’s built through intentional investment and consistencyEven Jesus modeled the importance of close, faith-centered relationships during His ministryCommunity won’t replace God, but it strengthens and supports your faith in every seasonIdentifying what’s holding you back is the first step toward building the relationships God has for you This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

Whether we're helping people pay off their unsecured debt or offering assistance to those behind in their mortgage payments. https://trinitycredit.org Full Transcript Below: When You Don't Have a Church Community This EasterBy: Peyton Garland Bible Reading:“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT) In our first five years of marriage, my husband and I moved six times. Jobs and dreams pulled us all over the place, back and forth across the country. But while this wild newlywed season was beautiful, it left little time for us to invest in a church community. Many believers are left without a church community this Easter, whether caused by time and location constraints, old church wounds, or a tried but failed attempt to find “their” people. Relationships can be complicated, awkward, and intimidating to navigate, especially for Christian adults who are encouraged to develop vulnerability and share their faults and fears with others. Church community—the healthy kind—requires an unguarded trust in others, a release of self-preservation and appearances, but it’s in this uncomfortable place that our pride dies and our souls find the encouragement to continue in the faith when the days are dark and lonely. Granted, I understand the skepticism of opening up to others in the church, especially as someone who once had a bitter taste in her mouth for any assembly that remotely resembled the unhealthy church I grew up in. However, on the other side of my church hurt, after lots of therapy and answered prayers as my husband and I settled into a church community to raise our sons, I can say, wholeheartedly, that you need a church community. You don’t need “your” people. You need Jesus people who messily, openly, sacrificially love Him. In finding those believers—and in becoming one of them—you find a community you can lean on in all seasons, even when the spiritual high of holidays like Easter and Christmas fades. My church has a saying, “You don’t stumble upon great Christian community; you create it.” So no matter how many fair-weather churchgoers come and go in this religious Easter season, no matter your past hurt or the present inconveniences that make community easy to avoid, I challenge you to invest your heart and faith in others. Jesus’ earthly ministry was short, only three years, but even He recognized the need for godly friendships and fellowship with others, calling twelve men to quite literally travel and live with Him. If Jesus recognized the need for a Christian community, who are we to disregard His example in this resurrection season centered on life, love, and sacrifice for others? Intersecting Faith & Life: When my husband and I met, we were both Christians, but both of us had been deeply, deeply wounded by the church. Legalism kept me tethered to weekly attendance, all out of fear, but my husband’s personal hurt had driven him completely away from church. When we met, and I mandated his church attendance if he wanted to continue dating me, he admitted it was the ...
