He is risen—how will you answer the question of all questions today? Join J. D. Walt and his father, David Walt, in this special Easter Sunday episode as they invite you on a heartfelt journey through faith, resurrection, and the courage to live “all in.” With warmth and candor, J. D. shares insights from his own family, a sunrise service in Gillette, and deep reflections on the meaning behind Jesus’s pivotal question: “But what about you? Who do you say that I am?” This episode isn’t just another retelling of the Easter story—it’s a call to personal response. You’ll hear how faith is more than just a “right answer” and why, as J. D. shares through the unforgettable story of a wire walker and a student’s bold answer, it’s about a life-changing commitment. Discover why being “all in” means so much more than just believing; it’s about stepping into the wheelbarrow and trusting Jesus with your life. Key highlights you won’t want to miss: J. D.’s touching birthday shoutout to his “Easter Lily” daughter, and what family means on resurrection morning An inspiring take on how faith is not just having the right theology but responding wholeheartedly to Christ’s revelation The show-stopping hymn singalong with David Walt and the power of “Up from the Grave He Arose”—guaranteed to inspire your spirit Whether you’re a longtime listener or joining for the first time, you’ll be encouraged to consider your own answer to Jesus’s question and reflect on the life-changing moments of the Lenten journey.
