19. Reclaiming Easter: Beyond the Bunny

Send us Fan Mail The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as the cornerstone of Christian faith—yet in our culture, Easter often receives less attention and celebration than Christmas. In this heartfelt conversation, Cody and Caitlin explore this surprising imbalance and make a compelling case for why Easter deserves greater emphasis in Christian homes. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, they discuss how the resurrection serves as the pivotal moment that validates everything about Christianity. "Without the resurrection, Christmas doesn't matter," Cody explains, highlighting that while Christ's birth was necessary, it's his victory over death that provides the foundation for our faith. The conversation weaves through scriptural insights, including fascinating cultural context about the folded burial cloth that signaled "I'm coming back" in Jewish tradition. What makes this episode particularly valuable are the practical ideas for making Holy Week meaningful for families. From creating cross-stained glass windows with painter's tape and paint to holding intimate family feet washing ceremonies, Cody and Caitlin share traditions that have created powerful memories with their children. Their suggestions range from simple (Easter worship playlists) to more involved (resurrection gardens), offering options for families at every stage. Whether you're looking to deepen your own appreciation of Easter or create meaningful traditions with your children, this episode provides both theological grounding and practical inspiration. The resurrection isn't just another religious event—it's the defining moment that makes Christianity distinct from every other faith. How will you celebrate it this year?
