I AM, Part 5: I Am the Resurrection and the Life // Jordan Brokaw

We live by an unspoken rule: forget you're going to die. Stay busy, stay young, stay distracted... anything to avoid the questions death forces us to ask. In Part 5 of I AM, Jordan Brokaw sits with the story of Jesus's friend Lazarus — the waiting, the grief, the disappointment — and Jesus's claim in John 11:25 that changes everything: "I am the resurrection and the life." In This Teaching Why our culture is obsessed with denying mortality, and what it's costing us What it felt like for Martha and Mary to wait for help that didn't come in time What "spiritual bypassing" is, and how it can quietly derail real grief Why Jesus wept at a tomb he was about to empty? The difference between resurrection as future hope and life as present reality What it would look like to live like death no longer defines you Scriptures Referenced: John 11:21–25 John 11:35 John 11:38–44
