50 Days of Easter: Celebrating when you don't have the energy

Feeling low energy around this time of year? You are not alone - me too! Today we are talking about how to celebrate Jesus and Easter when we don't feel like we have the energy too. Give a listen to find out how you can still celebrate Jesus even if you aren't feeling up to it. And I'll sneak in a beautiful quote from Gerard Manley Hopkins for good measure.

50 Days of Easter: Fixing our Eyes

It's week 2 of Eastertide and we're talking about the battles for our minds when it comes to celebrating and focusing on Jesus. I spend WAY too much of my time focusing on political, cultural, or personal issues and not near enough time focusing on the New Kingdom Jesus brought. But this week, we are just going to try and lay aside our usual topics that we brew over and focus on the good news that Jesus is alive and moving and loving and redeeming the world. I'm so glad you are here to join me as we continue through Eastertide! Drop me a review, give the podcast a follow and head to lisanikkel.substack.com for newsletters, poetry, art, thoughts about Eastertide and beyond.

Eastertide Round 2!

Welcome back for our second annual celebration of Eastertide! I'm so glad to have you back here. We are going to spend the next days practising the serious work of joy and celebration. It is not something I grew up celebrating but I have found it to me such a meaningful experience that we are going to do it again! Join me for the next 50 days as we set our minds and hearts on Jesus and celebrate all that happened in his life, death, and resurrection!
