Jesus meets us where we are.Even when the disciples were hiding in fear, Jesus came to them with compassion, offering peace, not judgment.Our faith journey requires training.Like the disciples, we often fall back on old habits in hard times. We build resilience through spiritual practices: Scripture, prayer, communion, acts of mercy, and Christian community.Fear doesn't disqualify us.Jesus doesn't wait for us to "get it all right." He meets us in our fear and sends us out empowered by the Holy Spirit.Doubt is part of the journey.Thomas' story shows that questioning and searching are natural parts of growing in faith. Jesus welcomes our honest doubts and calls us deeper into belief.We are called to go and offer peace.As Easter people, we are not meant to stay locked in fear. We are sent to be a presence of peace, hope, and love to a hurting world.Key phrase to hold onto:"Peace be with you." — Let this be the posture you carry into every encounter.

Forgiveness isn't always easy. Whether it's the sting of betrayal or the weight of our own mistakes, we all wrestle with what it means to fully forgive and be forgiven. But the good news of Easter is that Jesus' resurrection proves His sacrifice was enough—enough to cover every sin, heal every wound, and restore every broken heart.  In today's episode, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie take a deep dive into the life-changing power of Christ's resurrection and what it means for your daughter's faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal reflection, and practical parenting wisdom, they explore how you can help your girl embrace forgiveness—both in receiving God's grace and in extending it to others.  Listen in as they discuss the emotional depth of Holy Week, the profound conversation between Jesus and Peter in John 21, and how resurrection hope isn't just for eternity—it's for today. Through personal stories, Biblical insight, and resources like The Case for Christ for Kids, this conversation will equip you to nurture a heart of grace and restoration in your girl.  As Easter approaches, let's move beyond simply celebrating the resurrection—let's live it out in our families, extending the same forgiveness that Jesus so freely offers. Because when a girl understands the full power of Christ's victory, she steps into the confidence of a redeemed and restored life.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

As a parent, don't allow the commercialization of Easter to distract you from the true meaning of Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Teach your son that the Easter story is more than a story. It's the real-life account of Jesus sacrificially giving his life on the cross. Fortunately (and here's the incredible part), after three days in the tomb, Jesus conquered death by rising from the dead. And because of that, by his wounds we can be healed.Does your son know the true meaning of Easter?

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of John, we dive into chapters 18 and 19, walking through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as we approach Easter. This season of Lent invites us to engage deeply with a familiar yet profoundly challenging story—the suffering of Christ. It’s easy to skip ahead to the resurrection, but there is so much to learn in these moments of Jesus’ trial, betrayal, and ultimate sacrifice. Key Themes Covered: Human Struggle with Pain & Suffering – As humans, we often avoid pain—whether our own or others’. How do we sit in the reality of Jesus’ suffering without looking away? Jesus & Pilate: A Clash of Power – Jesus stands firm in divine authority, while Pilate sways under pressure. What does true power look like? Pilate’s Search for Truth – When Pilate asks, “What is truth?” is he dismissive or genuinely searching? How does his question reflect modern struggles with truth and authority? Key Verses: John 18:36 – "My kingdom is not of this world." John 19:10-11 – "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." Matthew 28:18 – "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Philippians 2:9-11 – "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow." Takeaways: This week, sit with John 18-19 and ask God to reveal areas in your heart where you struggle to surrender to His authority. Reflect on what it means to have spiritual authority through Christ—how can you walk in power, love, and self-discipline? As Easter approaches, let’s not rush past the cross. Let’s sit with the reality of Jesus’ suffering and allow it to deepen our love for Him. Jesus’ power is unshakable, rooted in the truth of who He is. Unlike the fleeting power structures of the world, His authority stands firm. Whatever you are facing today, know that His power, love, and sovereignty are over it all.

Faith Spotted: As persons of faith we believe in the promise of new life that is available through grace by faith. Through God's forgiveness we are not bound by the mistakes we make, have made or by our background. As Easter people we believe in restoration and that our true identity is as a beloved child of God. We should not label others or accept the labels others have toward us. The resurrection hope and promise of new life and is not limited to that which we receive in full after we die, but is available in our life and time here. Faith Spotted II: (Faith issues not mentioned in the podcast.) The Struggles of both Lydia, and Delia, as well perhaps as Betelgeuse, have by not working through past failure, pain, and loss in life. Though painful, it is in facing, and doing, the grief work and process that we are able to move beyond mourning, pain and loss, and begin the new normal life that God desires for us.  As persons of faith we are called to live and be in the moments of life, whether difficult, exciting, or routine. Each day is a gift and even in the midst of pain or routine, evidence of God's presence and grace abound and offer joy.    Venice Film Festival Photos:

As Easter draws near, we embark on a profoundly moving journey, retracing the steps of Jesus through His trials and crucifixion—a narrative that is not only seminal to our faith but is also the very foundation of our salvation. In the intimacy of our latest episode, we traverse the somber path from the initial accusations of blasphemy before the High Priest to the heartbreak of Peter's denial, as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew. Deepening our exploration, we witness the political and religious upheaval that culminated in Jesus's sentencing by Pontius Pilate, a decision reverberating through history as detailed in the Gospels of Luke and John. This retelling isn't merely a recount of past events; it's an invitation to reflect on the transformative power of Christ's love and sacrifice.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:https://thelionwithin.us/podcast/351-easter-special-part-2/Disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your fellow brothers in Christ around a crackling campfire.

As we traverse the solemnity of Holy Tuesday, we encounter the piercing reflections of Bishop Jacques Bossuet, guiding us through the shadows of betrayal and sin that pierce the heart of Jesus. This session is a profound meditation on the emotional turmoil Christ endured, particularly in the face of Judas Iscariot's impending betrayal. Bishop Bossuet elucidates the deeper layers of Jesus' suffering, inviting us to consider the collective weight of human sins that pressed upon the Savior and the paradox of the Cross as both a symbol of salvation and a stumbling block.With the Gospel of John as our map, we journey into the very soul of Christ, observing his troubled spirit in the face of sin—both personal and communal. Bishop Bossuet's insight into the scriptural moments where Jesus is most distressed offers a stark reflection on sorrow for sin. As Easter approaches, this episode serves as a significant spiritual exercise, allowing us to confront the nature of sin and redemption. Through these meditations, we are challenged to recognize our role in the collective failure of humanity and yet find hope in the redemption that Jesus' ultimate sacrifice offers.Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon
