In this episode of Practically Pastoring, the crew debriefs Easter Sunday. What went well? What went sideways? And how do you lead through the Super Bowl of church services without losing your soul (or your voice)?
Plus, we get into:
The emotional and logistical pressure pastors face on Easter
Whether small churches should try to “compete” with bigger ones
Why WrestleMania made it into our Sunday reflections
What happens after Easter: follow-up, fatigue, and finding your rhythm again
👉 We also talk hydrangeas, visitor strategy, and why resurrection doesn’t end on Sunday.
