Episode 20 – More Than a Moment: Living a Resurrected Life Every Day

Easter isn't just a date on the calendar—it's a present reality that reorders everything. In this episode, Bishop Tom Berlin joins Brian Myers and Rev. Jenn Stiles Williams to explore what it means to live as Easter people every day. From Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb to the transformed disciples of Acts, they trace how resurrection power reshapes identity, challenges a cross-only faith, and moves us from self-striving to daily surrender. Along the way, they share honest reflections on spiritual practices, the marks of a resurrection community, and why joy—not duty—is the truest sign that we believe the tomb is empty.
