Happy Easter Monday, friends! Once again, Ruth invites us to celebrate the risen Jesus through five powerful post-resurrection encounters. We’ve reflected on these stories before, yet they continue to speak. As you listen, step into the story—imagine the wonder, the questions, the joy. May they draw you into His presence today.

After you listen, let us know where you are finding yourself in the post resurrection stories.

It is the Lord by David Adam It is the Lord, in the dawning, in the renewal, in the arrival, in the new day. It is the Lord, in the crowd, in the church, in the conversation, in the crisis. It is the Lord, in our joys, in our sorrows, in our sickness, in our health. It is the Lord, in the stable, in the humble, in the stranger, in the poor. It is the Lord, risen and returned, alive for evermore, giving me new life, saving me in strife, It is the Lord. from Tides and Seasons — Modern Prayers in the Celtic Tradition by David Adam.
