What do pastors talk about after they leave the pulpit on Sunday? That’s what you will hear on this podcast as our pastors have a candid conversation about what’s on their mind, and how they can better serve the church.
In this Easter edition of The After Sunday Show, Pastors Heath Lambert, Trevor Komatsu, Scott Connell, and Austin Collins discuss the meaning of Easter and how Christians should think about common traditions like Easter baskets, egg hunts, and sunrise services. They reflect on their own childhood experiences, consider whether cultural traditions help or distract from celebrating Christ’s resurrection, and debate whether Easter or Christmas is the more significant Christian holiday. The conversation also explores why churches often emphasize Christmas more culturally, how the resurrection shapes Christian worship and theology, and why the risen Christ gives believers hope, power over sin, and purpose in everyday life—even on the most ordinary days.
