In this special post-Easter conversation, Pastor Jeff reminds us that Easter isn’t just a day we celebrate, it’s a way we live. The resurrection invites us into a daily relationship with Jesus where our faith grows beyond Sunday moments and into everyday life. Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Christ for years, simple steps like spending time in God’s Word, being part of a church, and living in community help your faith stay active and real.

He encourages us to choose faith over fear. In a world filled with uncertainty and anxiety, the resurrection reminds us that God is greater than anything we face. Just as the disciples moved from fear to boldness, we’re invited to trust God and live with confidence, knowing He is in control and at work in every situation.

Pastor Jeff also challenges us to reorder our lives around God’s purposes through prayer, obedience, and sharing our faith. As we turn from sin and lean into His plan, we begin to see that miracles are still happening today. When we trust Him fully and live with intention, our everyday lives reflect His power and purpose. Because when we live surrendered, every day really does matter.

Bryson Kessler, former Rolling Hills staff member and founder of Clover and Bee, shares how following Jesus extends into every part of life—ministry, business, and family. She reflects on seasons of grief, including her mother’s passing and her sister Beth’s decade-long battle with cancer, and how those experiences shaped her faith and daily reliance on God.

Through these trials, Bryson learned the power of active trust, surrendering control, and saying “yes” to God every day. She emphasizes the life-changing practice of gratitude, inspired by Beth’s steadfast faith, and how noticing God’s work even in small, everyday moments brings peace and joy.

Bryson also reminds listeners that resurrection power isn’t just for eternity. It equips us to face daily challenges, forgive, and live fully in God’s love. Anchored in scripture, her story inspires believers to trust, surrender, and live with hope. Because when we live surrendered, every day really does matter.

Pastor Jeff sits down with Scott Koon to talk about the quiet but powerful influence of growing up in a home where faith was lived out daily. Scott reflects on how watching his parents serve others and stay rooted in God’s Word shaped his own faith, family life, and the way he approaches his career and relationships today. Their example reminds us that the small, faithful moments of everyday life leave a lasting legacy.

Scott opens up about his 2020 leukemia diagnosis, grueling treatments, and recovery during COVID-19. Leaning on prayer, Psalm 23, and the support of his church and friends, he emphasizes the importance of accepting help, showing up for others, and keeping an eternal perspective through life’s struggles.

Now fully in remission, Scott encourages living intentionally, being present, and nurturing relationships today rather than waiting for tomorrow. His story reminds us that every moment is an opportunity to reflect God’s goodness. Because when we live surrendered, every day really does matter.
