Following Jesus Is a Reason to Celebrate

Timm is out this week on a missions trip, so Jamie is holding it down solo. After a full spring break—coaching a softball game, celebrating his dad’s 61st birthday, and getting some much-needed rest with a family beach trip—this episode takes a step back to talk about something we don’t always emphasize enough: joy. During Holy Week, it’s easy to focus on the weight and seriousness of what Jesus did. And that matters. But it’s not the whole picture. Because of Christ, we don’t just have forgiveness—we have life. And that life is meant to be lived with joy. In this episode, Jamie talks about what it looks like to truly celebrate your relationship with Jesus—not just in church, but in everyday life. Not a forced happiness, but a real, childlike joy that comes from knowing who you are and what’s been done for you. If your faith has started to feel heavy, this episode is a reminder: following Jesus isn’t just something you carry—it’s something you get to celebrate.
