Church Street Podcast EP 050 - Holy Week 2026 -1

Pastor Zach Stiefel and Youth Director Josh Ingram kick off a meaningful Holy Week series by walking through Matthew 21, setting the stage for the days leading to Easter.They reflect on the powerful reminder: “If you’re not plugged in, you’re not powered.” Just like the fig tree Jesus curses, a life disconnected from God may look alive—but bears no real fruit.The conversation also highlights the sharp shift from the celebration of Palm Sunday to what they call “Fist Monday”—a moment where Jesus turns over tables in the temple, revealing His passion for true worship and a heart aligned with God.They also introduce the idea of a breath prayer—a simple, intentional way to stay connected to God throughout your day by pairing short prayers with your breathing.A thoughtful and practical start to reflecting on Holy Week and what it means to stay spiritually connected.
