Podcasts about practice resurrection

In the 6th chapter of Matthew's gospel, Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray, introducing what today we call the "Our Father," or the "Lord's Prayer." But Jesus imparts this prayer in the context of various instructions on the many ways we shouldn't pray. Don't pray in public for everyone to see. Don't put on a gloomy face. Then, in the following chapter, he says: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." So Christians should pray. But Christians should also, it seems, be wary about praying the wrong way. This opens up intriguing questions about what it means to pray, whether there are things we should or shouldn't pray for, and what it means for a prayer to be answered.  On this episode of Glad You Asked, the hosts talk with award-winning writer Laura Kelly Fanucci about the point of prayer.  Fanucci is the author of a number of books, most recently Living Easter: 50 Days to Practice Resurrection Joy (Liturgical Press, 2026). She has written for U.S. Catholic as well as OSV News Service, America Magazine, and on two popular substacks. Her work has also been featured on the Hallow and Ritual apps, and in popular outlets including NPR's Morning Edition, On Being, and The Kelly Clarkson Show.  You can learn more about this topic, and read some of Fanucci's work, in these links.

4.12.26 | Pastor Heath Hardesty

As we continue in the Octave of Easter, Father Dave welcomes speaker and author Laura Kelly Fanucci to discuss how we can celebrate all 50 days of this season. Laura is the founder of "Mothering Spirit," and her new devotional is called, "Living Easter: 50 Days to Practice Resurrection."

 Easter isn't just something we believe—it's something we live. This message explores how resurrection power helps us stand up again, keep going, and trust that the worst thing is never the last thing. 

We're joined by Paul McCusker is the Senior Director of Creative Content for the Augustine Institute, talks about “Welcome to Hope Springs,” a Screen-Free Audio Adventure for Families. Stephanie Sterling, Executive Director of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Baton Rouge, talk about the Way of the Cross in downtown Baton Rouge on Good Friday. Laura Kelly Fanucci, author of Living Easter 50 Days to Practice Resurrection, joins us.

AMDG. Steven and Bonnie are joined by Laura Kelly Fanucci. They discuss her new book Living Easter: 50 Days to Practice Resurrection and how we can live out the joy of Easter in our lives and homes. They don't limit themselves to Easter but talk about how we can live each season of the Church in a way that fully allows us to enter the season rather than creating just another checkbox for us to complete.   Links mentioned & relevant:  Living Easter by Laura Kelly Fanucci  Laura's website · Substack ·  Instagram    Laura on the Votive Podcast discussing Advent   The Tale of the Three Trees by Angela Elwell Hunt  The Road to Easter Day by Jan Godfrey  Tomie de Paola's Let the Whole Earth Sing Praise  Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you'd like to share?

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 5: God's Infinite Mercy. We reflect on the paradox of true strength—how becoming little, dependent, and surrendered before the Lord is the very place where His strength takes root in us. We also talk about what it means to live with a pure heart, not by striving harder, but by bringing every part of ourselves into honest communion with Christ and allowing His kindness to call us higher. This week, as we wrestle with fear, worry, and the temptation to rely on ourselves, we encourage you to be reminded that it is God's love that heals, restores, and leads us to freedom.    Heather's One Thing - Dwelling Place by The Belonging Co.  Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Sacrament of Reconciliation  Michelle's One Thing - Living Easter: 50 Days to Practice Resurrection by Laura Kelly Fanucci Michelle's Other One Thing - March Madness!   Journal Questions: What has the Lord convicted me of this Lent?

When was a recent time you experienced discouragement? How were you placing trust in yourself? How have your eyes been opened this Lent?   Quotes to Ponder: "Thérèse says to Jesus in one of her poems: "I want to love you like a little child, I want to battle like a warrior bold."" (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 90)   "Let's return to the subject of trust. We have seen how we should nurture our trust. It is fragile, but it can be increased and strengthened by listening to the Word, by prayer, by the acts of faith we make in difficult moments, and by the experience of God's faithfulness. Now I wish to make a point that is simple but has wide implications. I can put it in the form of a question: What is the basis for our trust? What does it actually rest on?"

The resurrection is not a happy ending.“Resurrection is not an invitation to escape the world; it is an invitation to change it.” — Desmond Tutu

Easter SundayApril 20, 2025

Today we honor and celebrate Larry’s final sermon at Waterstone Church. We focus on Jesus and the gift of salvation, and marvel at how grief and hope coexist, particularly in the story of Lazarus. This reminds us that, even in our darkest moments, Jesus, the God-Man, embodies compassion and promises resurrection. We are encouraged to embrace our faith, because true joy and renewal come from accepting Jesus into our lives. He is the one that guides us toward a deeper understanding of love, grace, and the assurance of eternal life. References: “It’s no wonder… that they have produced this uncommon effect that by long habit it is almost impossible for me to draw a breath in which you are not involved.” - John Newton “Heaven is a fairy story for those who are afraid of the dark.” - Stephen Hawking “There’s nothing to fear because you weren’t conscious before you were born, and you won’t be conscious after you die.” - Sam Harris “The tears of God are the meaning of history.” - Nicholas Wolterstorff “Jesus makes high claims without being pompous… He is tender without being cowardly, strong without being harsh.” - Jonathan Edwards “I like to think that something survives after you die… It’s strange to think that you accumulate all this experience and maybe even a little wisdom and it just goes away.” - Steve Jobs, Former CEO of Apple “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son…” John 3:16

Join Pastor Dru as he describes the transformative journey of growing up in Christ, guided by insights from Eugene Peterson's book, "Practice Resurrection." This podcast explores the crucial balance between evangelism and spiritual formation, urging us towards a deeper, more mature faith.

3.31.24 Practice Resurrection by Pastor Charlane Lines

Tune in as Pastor Dru reflects on the importance of nurturing a close relationship with God, drawing from the wisdom in Eugene Peterson's "Practice Resurrection." Dive into a simple yet profound discussion on how, even in our busiest and most challenging times, God personally connects with us and fills us with spiritual strength through faith and love.

In our final podcast of our Easter Practice Resurrection Series, Intern Rita talks about how artwork and creativity can connect us with the promises of the Resurrection.  As a special treat, Rita brings her mother, Linda Argus, onto the program to discuss this important connection.

In this special extra episode of our Easter Practice Resurrection Series, Intern Rita talks with Colleen Maki, about the show Madam Secretary and the ethical questions it raises. This is a show that Colleen recently began re-watching and reflecting on from a faith perspective. Colleen and Rita share a great conversation about these themes and the ways that reflecting on ethical questions is a way of practicing resurrection.

In this episode, Scott talks about moving to a new town and joining a new church and all the opportunities this provides for him to practice letting go. In order to make room for new life, we have first to be willing to let go of the old.

Title: Practice ResurrectionText: Colossians 3:12-17Pastor: Thomas Kuhn

SEAN DELBECCARO, Pastor of Community and Formation / Second Sunday of Easter / Acts 2.14a, 22-32

In this post-Easter show focussing on concrete ways we can practice resurrection, Scott Stoner talks about how rising above our smaller selves is a choice we can make to put our spiritual beliefs into action. For example, when someone says or does something hurtful to us, we have a choice of how we wish to respond. We can react and hurt them back or rise above our initial hurt and seek to create a greater good. This is not easy, but no one said that practicing resurrection is easy!

On this Easter Sunday, we take a look at the way Jesus's resurrection impacts how we live in the days that follow Easter. 

Recorded live at Arlington Street Church, Sunday, April 9, 2023.

(Easter Sunday 2023) Phil focused on why the resurrection of Jesus is the most plausible explanation for the presence and prominence of love in so many spheres of the world today. Phil also spoke to the present power of the resurrection to mobilize believers towards good deeds.
