Deep dives

Reflecting on Easter Traditions

The conversation centers on the complexities of Easter celebrations within the evangelical church, often compared to a Super Bowl for Christians. The pressure to put on an extravagant show creates a burdensome atmosphere, detracting from the genuine reflection of the resurrection. Many churchgoers feel exhausted by high expectations, such as delivering their best sermons and arranging elaborate events for the holiday. This leads to questioning whether the essence of Jesus' message is being overshadowed by the need for spectacle and performance.
