Podcasts about Resurrection

Years ago, Maria Eckersley found herself needing the Savior more than ever. As her husband battled pancreatic cancer, Easter became more than a holiday—it became a lifeline of hope, hope in the promises of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Instead of creating a long list of activities or traditions, Maria created what she calls a "tradition of teaching." In this episode, Maria shares how intentionally focusing her family on the gift of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ transformed her home and her gratitude for Easter.    2:42- Origin of Testimony 6:13- Salt Lake Temple Open House Celebration 9:59- A Choice to Celebrating Easter 15:18- A Tradition of Teaching 20:13- What a Connection with the Lord Does 22:08- There's Always Water 25:08- The Promises If the Resurrection is True 29:15- The Duality in Easter 34:04- Easter Through the Lens of the Book of Mormon 37:33- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?    "I think there's a lot of that commercial side that we can set down when it comes to Easter. So for me, I guess I see Christmas as a season of giving and receiving in the Savior's way and when it comes to Easter, I see Easter focused on it's all about me receiving...it literally is just His divine gift that is given to all of us. It's a time for us to celebrate that gift, to appreciate it, maybe to emulate it but it's really all about receiving and I just think there's some tenderness in that."   Links: Teaching Easter by Maria Eckersley Elder Neal A. Maxwell- "The cavity which suffering carves into our souls will one day also be the receptacle of joy."

The Resurrection is a pivot point for the entire Christian faith. Paul told the Corinthian church, “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” Thankfully, he then said, “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead.” And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how the Resurrection provides the power we need to break through the barriers and live the Christian life. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Have you ever wondered how the Bible fits together?  Is there one theme - something that holds it all together - from Genesis to Revelation?  I believe there is.  Scholars call it the “Crimson Thread”, and it runs from the beginning to the end of the Bible.  For the next 4 weeks leading up to Easter, we will talk about this Crimson Thread.  We will be looking at four Old Testament stories that are a part of this Crimson Thread that lead us to Jesus and His redemptive work.  This week, Pastor Jeff Moes will look at the story of Abraham and God's call on his life to sacrifice his son, Isaac.  We will compare the story of Abraham and Isaac with the story of Jesus and see, together, how Jesus became our Substitute.  Be sure to be here this Sunday and every Sunday leading up to Easter as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the Resurrection.  --WebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistSunnybrook App (ios)Sunnybrook App (Google)Connect with us!How can we pray for you?

Five minutes can reset an entire day when truth meets melody. We dive into the Scripture woven through Shane & Shane's “You Said I Am,” unpacking the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus and how each one meets a real human need: hunger for purpose, longing for guidance, desire for safety, ache for care, and the fear of death. From Bread of Life to Light of the World, from the Gate to the Good Shepherd, and the triumphant promise of Resurrection and Life, we connect lyrics to the Gospel of John and trace their roots back to the burning bush, where God first named Himself “I Am.”If you're craving a grounded start to your morning, this is a gentle, content-rich guide.

Since Charles Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species, evolution has been considered by many to be the final nail in the coffin of religion.Because evolution is supposedly random - or indeed, blind - the argument follows that there is no design.But recently, a quiet revolution has been raging among the top tier of evolutionary scientists.The apparent randomness of evolution has come into question, and some experts now suggest there may be patterns, agency, and even intention behind it all.FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - click here.CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Peter Kozushko is our North American representative and a point of contact for church pastors interested in engaging with our work here at Undeceptions.  Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actor today was Dakotah Love. Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

What comes to mind when you think of heaven? Is it a giant stadium where thousands and thousands of people wearing white robes are singing their hearts out to Jesus (sitting on a golden throne in the middle of it all)? If that's you, you're not alone. But THAT picture of heaven isn't exactly the whole story about what heaven is like. In fact, much of how we talk about heaven isn't really biblical at all. In this message, Max Vanderpool makes a case for why a "ticket to heaven" is actually round trip - and why WORK is something we can expect in the "life to come."

Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn't about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Erika Behl is a coach based in Singapore.  Originally from the US, she lived in Africa and Europe before eventually settling in Asia for the past 18 years.   After spending almost two decades building a traditionally “successful” life, a breast cancer diagnosis in late 2017 catalysed a shift in her priorities.   A year's-long sabbatical, several attempts at starting a business, and a divorce later, she concedes that sometimes burning down what you don't want is easier than finding what you do. She writes for other deep-thinking independents, tells stories on stage, hosts the "Every Moment is a Choice" podcast, and will publish The Clear-Eyed Chemo Journal, a system for cancer patients to reclaim their agency, in 2026.

As a dog lover and an ordained Christian, one of the questions I've been asked the most is, “Do dogs have souls?” It's a question which is often accompanied by grief and loss, but which also expresses a hope which is so vital to cling to, especially in these turbulent times. It's a good time of year to be thinking about this, as Crufts, the world's premier dog show, opened yesterday for its annual event. It might seem trivial to spend four days celebrating all things canine, amidst the backdrop of the volatile situation in the middle east, but perhaps that's, at least in part, the point. Dogs, with their reputation for simple joy, faithfulness, and love which is unconditionally given, are living proof that there is another way for humans to be, one in which it's possible to enjoy a flourishing relationship with other creatures, for all that we struggle to model this with one another. It's certainly true that humans forge strong, unbreakable bonds with their dogs, and when that bond is broken by death, it can be unexpectedly painful. When my dog died I was given a card which included the poem about Rainbow Bridge, which describes the pets who've gone before us, waiting in a utopian afterlife for their owners to die too, so they can be reunited. This is folk eschatology, hopes and yearnings about what happens when we lose those we love. It's the theology of last things. In the febrile, dangerous times we're living in, it's unsurprising that people might want to imagine a place which might be free from cruelty. A place marked by peace and the harmony of co-existence, like that described in the book of Isaiah. Here we are given a prophetic vision of the end times, one where all creation will be reconciled in a restored world. No predators or prey, the lion lying down with the lamb, the leopard with the goat…and a little boy leading them all. For Christians, this redemption and healing is only possible because Jesus went before us; living, dying, rising again. He is the reason for our hope in the midst of life and death, and a love which lasts beyond it. In a world where the strong still regularly overpower the weak, a world where lions devour lambs, it gives comfort and hope to imagine something radically different. Martin Luther apparently said to his dog, "Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail.” I don't know whether or not my dog had a soul, but she was a soul. Sweet, faithful, infuriating at times, and much missed.

N. T. Wright is perhaps the most influential New Testament scholar of our generation. He is an Anglican bishop, having served as the Bishop of Durham and as a Lord Spiritual in the UK Parliament. He then became a research professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at St Mary's College at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and later a senior research fellow at Wycliffe Hall at Oxford.Bishop Wright is the author of over seventy books, many of which are highly regarded as top academic scholarship. But his influence on regular run-of-the-mill Christians is greatest through his many books written at a more popular level, including the three books Simply Christian, Simply Jesus, and After You Believe, which guide readers in faith and Christian living.And, of course, Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church. In that groundbreaking book, Tom Wright dismantled the narrative we all assumed was the gospel story: that we are saved in order to go to heaven. He wrote that our hope for the future is our physical resurrection to live with God in the New Heavens and New Earth.This new book, God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal (HarperOne, 2025), almost serves as a sequel to that. He returns to the grand narrative of the Bible and explains that God's promise has always been that he would dwell with humans in a renewed creation. God's home has been, and always will be, with us.Thanks for listening!If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends!Your hosts are Dr. Bob Robinson and David Loughney.

In this message, Pastor Lonnie emphasizes how, in a world full of constant noise and distractions, Lent calls us to choose something different: silence. Not just the absence of sound, but a deeper stillness where we can listen to our own thoughts and hear God's voice.    As Fox River prepares to celebrate 25 years as a congregation, this season feels especially meaningful. Lent isn't just a time to reflect on the past; it's also a time to prepare. We remember Jesus' forty days in the wilderness. It was not a time of defeat but of strengthening and clarity. Similarly, the wilderness seasons in our own lives, and even this milestone in our church's journey, may be shaping us for what lies ahead.    As we look toward the next 25 years, we do so with confidence. The same faithful God who has brought us this far continues to lead us forward. The wilderness is not the end of the story. Resurrection is on the horizon.

There are some things which, if they are true, change everything. If Jesus rose from the dead, it would transform what we think of God and how we see ourselves. We could make sense of some of the deepest mysteries of our existence and enjoy real hope in our everyday lives. But can a rational person actually believe that Jesus rose from the dead? Join us as Mike Hood explains why the Resurrection is believable.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: If humans have immortal souls, what is the point of resurrection? The Bible is opened to discuss what God's view of the human after-life is like. This thought-provoking Bible Talk presents an insightful and expositional examination of a core Christian doctrine: the resurrection of the dead. In this revealing report, we confront a widespread departure from biblical truth within modern Christendom. Are popular teachings about death and the afterlife based on the Bible or on human tradition? We go directly to the Scriptures to uncover the outstanding hope God offers through a future resurrection, a promise underwritten by the God who created us. This outstanding presentation clarifies what the Bible truly says about the state of the dead, the timing of judgment, and the wonderful hope of immortality granted only through Christ.

Read OnlineThen the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered him, “Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.” Matthew 20:20–21What a bold move by the mother of the sons of Zebedee! A common misconception at that time was that the Messiah would usher in a new political and earthly kingdom and those who held positions of power in this kingdom would bask in earthly glory. However, Jesus' mission as the Messiah was to establish a far superior Kingdom through His Passion and Resurrection. These two disciples, along with their mother, did not yet understand this.Just before this passage, Jesus took the Twelve aside and prophesied His Passion and Resurrection: “...the Son of Man will be handed over… they will condemn him to death… be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.” This is the third time in Matthew's Gospel that Jesus predicts His Passion. It's surprising that, immediately after this prophecy, the mother of the sons of Zebedee asks Jesus to give her two sons the most prominent positions in His Kingdom. Jesus initially responds, “You do not know what you are asking.”In many ways, Jesus says the same to us. When we pray and seek to grow closer to God, we don't always understand what we are truly asking for. Like these two disciples and their mother, we might think that growing in holiness means God will protect us from all illnesses, difficulties, crosses, and problems—replacing them with consolations, a comfortable life, family unity, success at work, notoriety, and even wealth. But that's not the Gospel. The Gospel always points us to the Cross, while promising God's grace to carry it, not avoid it.As Jesus said to these two disciples, He also says to us when we pray for greater holiness: “Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” In other words, the path to holiness is the Cross. It's the only way. Jesus tells us this in many ways, just as He told His disciples three times. They did not understand or chose not to believe what He was saying. The same is true for us. When we seek holiness, our Lord tells us that we must be willing to be “handed over,” “condemned,” “mocked and scourged and crucified,” so that, with Jesus, we can be raised up. Each person's path to the Cross will be unique, but we all must accept it if we want to share in Christ's Kingdom. It is the only way.Reflect today on Jesus looking at you with love and asking, “Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” Try to understand what that means. What does the Cross look like in your life? Often, when we encounter crosses, we flee from them, presuming they are bad, and even pray for them to go away. Yet our Lord lovingly tells us to carry that cross with His strength, peace, and joy. That is the only way to authentic holiness and the only way to true greatness in the Kingdom of God. Do not fear Christ's Cross. It is the answer to all you long for in life.My gentle Lord, like Your disciples, I often want my crosses removed from my life rather than carry them with the aid of Your grace. I desire to drink from the Sacred Chalice of Your Passion so that I may share in Your Resurrection and glory. Give me courage when I encounter the crosses You wish me to carry and the wisdom to discern Your path to glory. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Christ meeting the wife and the sons of Zebedee by Paolo VeroneseSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan Farner unpacks one of the most mysterious visions in scripture: Jacob's Ladder (Genesis 28).Far from a story about life after death, Jacob's Ladder is revealed as a living blueprint for spiritual embodiment — the pattern of descending into matter and reascending into divine awareness while still in the flesh.Drawing connections across ancient traditions, Kabbalah, alchemy, astrology, Gnostic cosmology, Egyptian initiation, and Christian mysticism, Meghan explores:The seven (and eighth) rungs of spiritual ascentThe process of overcoming the natural manShame, pride, attachment, fear, and spiritual authorityEmotional regulation and embodied wisdomPersonal sovereignty vs. outsourcing authorityIntegration of heaven and earth within the selfMary Magdalene's ascent vision as a parallel ladderWhat it means to encounter Christ withinThis episode reframes Jacob's declaration — “This is the gate of heaven” — as an inward revelation: the temple is you.If you are studying the Old Testament, exploring esoteric Christianity, or walking the path of spiritual initiation, this episode offers a grounded yet expansive lens on the ladder that exists within your own anatomy, psychology, and soul.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction & app announcements 04:22 Genesis 28: Jacob's vision 07:13 The ladder across ancient traditions 09:15 The law of correspondence (“as above, so below”) 10:58 Descension into matter & reascension 12:42 The cyclical, chiastic nature of the ladderThe Seven Rungs18:27 Rung 1 – From shame to purification 22:47 Rung 2 – From intellectual pride to embodied wisdom 25:55 Rung 3 – Attachment to emotional regulation 30:02 Rung 4 – Fear to courage (center of the chiasm) 34:24 Rung 5 – Aggression to clarity & truth 37:57 Rung 6 – External authority to spiritual sovereignty 39:59 Rung 7 – Integration & joy 41:51 Rung 8 – Encountering Christ44:58 Mary Magdalene's ascent vision 55:41 “The house of God is within you” 57:19 Invitation into spiritual educationResources: The Ascent Vision of Mary Magdalene Questions about Return to the Garden?

In the conclusion of our series, Familiar Stranger, Lead Pastor Jason Britt looks at the birth of the Church in Acts 2. We often entertain ourselves with the "supernatural" on a screen through movies and shows, yet we often struggle to embrace the supernatural reality of the Holy Spirit in our actual lives. If everything about our salvation is supernatural—from the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection—why would we expect to sustain our Christian walk through natural strength alone? Pastor Jason connects the dots between the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai and the pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost. While the Law was once written on stone, the Holy Spirit now writes it on our hearts. Being a "Spirit-filled person" isn't about chasing miracles; it's about a life so marked by Jesus that it can only be explained by His power. When we move from "trying" to "trusting," we become the witnesses God called us to be.

Luke 9:57-62. Rev. Ben Cunningham. Recorded live at Church of the Resurrection in New Orleans, LA on March 1, 2026.

What if Satan's strategy against mankind hasn't changed since the time of Job? The guys examine how the evil one attacks three core areas of a man's life and how Jesus restores what's been taken. A ten-second exchange in a meet-and-greet line sparks Jase's deeper dive into the “new heaven and new earth.” Al and Zach find that the only way to please God isn't through striving, but through trusting what Jesus has finished.
