The angels at the empty tomb asked the women a question that I've been thinking this week: "Why do you look for the living among the dead?"

This Easter, Rachel gets honest about the dead places she's been looking for life — not out in the world, but inside her own heart. The self-talk that tears down instead of builds up. The thoughts that are not true, not honest, not of good report. And what happens when what's living in our hearts starts flowing out of our mouths.

You'll discover:

• Why the angel's question at the tomb isn't just about Easter morning but about every morning
• What Matthew 12:34 reveals about the connection between your heart and your words
• How to tell the difference between the Holy Spirit's conviction and the enemy's condemnation
• A practical way to replace dead thoughts with living Scripture
• Why guarding your heart is the most important battle you'll fight this week

If you've been carrying the weight of your own inner critic, this episode will remind you: the tomb is empty, and you don't have to live there anymore.

Sometimes we think God stops working because the battle shifts to unfamiliar ground. He helped us through that one thing, but this? This feels like a different category.

In this Easter episode, Rachel unpacks a surprising story from 1 Kings 20 where Israel's enemies called God a "hill God" — powerful in some places but limited in others. God's response? He won the victory in the exact place they said He couldn't. That's what happened at the cross.

You'll discover:

• What the Arameans got wrong about God and why we make the same mistake
• How we accidentally shrink our prayers when the battle moves to new terrain
• Why the cross as the ultimate valley became the place of the greatest victory
• How Easter changes everything about the way we approach God in prayer

If you've been holding back in prayer because you're not sure God works in your current valley, this episode will remind you: He is not only a hill God. The resurrection proves it.

Elijah called down fire from heaven. And then one threatening message from Jezebel sent him running face-down under a tree, telling God he might as well be dead.

Fear does that. It doesn't matter what God just did for you. Fear has a way of making you forget all of it.

First Kings 19 is the story of what God did next for Elijah and what He's still doing for us today.

You'll discover:

• Why fear after a victory can be more disorienting than failure ever was
• What 1 Kings 19:4 reveals about praying from total brokenness
• Why God answered a threatening voice with a whisper — not a louder one
• What God said when Elijah told Him he was the only one left
• How God's answer to isolation almost always involves people
