Who Moved the Stone?

What happens after Easter morning—when the lilies fade and life returns to “normal”? How do we continue living in the power of the resurrection?
This two-day devotional series invites you into the season of Eastertide—the often-overlooked days between Easter and Pentecost—where we reflect not just on the event of Jesus’s resurrection, but on the ongoing reality of his risen life. Easter isn’t just a day to celebrate; it’s a truth to live by.
If you are longing to hold onto resurrection hope, this short series will encourage you to live as a witness—seeing with the eyes of faith, listening for the voice of the risen Christ, and walking in the light of new life.
Come and see. He is risen—and he is still speaking.
These devotionals are excerpted from God of My Days, available now!
