The tomb is empty. That changes everything.

On the first Easter morning, two women showed up looking for a funeral — and got invited to a party. In this message from Matthew 28:1-10, we unpack three things the empty tomb means for your life today: you’re invited (not out of obligation, but love), God doesn’t just intervene — He gets involved, and His love for you is invincible.

If the tomb lacks a body, you lack nothing.

MATTHEW 27:62-66

In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:57-61 and shows us three pictures of devotion from one of the most overlooked passages in the crucifixion story. Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and the two Marys weren’t doing anything spectacular. They were just doing what was right in front of them — and God was working through all of it in ways they couldn’t see.

If you’ve ever felt like your faithfulness doesn’t matter because it’s not big or bold or public, this one is for you.

In this episode:

* Why Joseph risked everything to ask Pilate for Jesus’s body

* What the myrrh reveals about following Jesus in the mundane

* Why sitting outside a tomb is one of the most powerful acts of devotion in Scripture

* How to follow Jesus even when you can’t see where He’s leading

📖 Passage: Matthew 27:57–61 (ESV)

Jesus didn’t just die — He was forsaken. For 3 hours, darkness covered the land, and the Son of God cried out “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” — and the Father didn’t answer.

In this episode, Alex walks through Matthew 27:46-50 and uncovers what actually happened in those 3 hours on the cross, why Jesus stopped calling God “Father,” and what it means that He declared “It is finished.”

If you’ve ever felt like God went silent on you, or if you’re still secretly trying to earn what Jesus already paid for — this one’s for you.

Topics covered: The 3 hours of darkness and what they represent | Why Jesus called God “God” instead of “Father” | What “It is finished” actually means for your everyday life | Why your salvation can’t be 99% — it has to be 100% | How bad theology leads us to look for salvation in the wrong places

Most people think they’re going to heaven. But Jesus says the road to life is narrow — and few find it. Not many. Few.

In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani sit in Matthew 7:13-14, right at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, and unpack one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. The wide road is crowded, comfortable, and covered in destruction. The narrow road is hard, lonely, and crushing — and it leads to life.

We talk about:

* Why the wide road isn’t just for atheists — it’s full of religious people

* What the Greek word for “hard” actually means (hint: it’s about grapes)

* The difference between the general call and the effectual call of God

* Why you didn’t find the narrow road — it found you

* What Pilgrim’s Progress teaches us about the narrow gate

* The Zoe life — and how to recognize it in your own story

After the Amen: Are YOU on the narrow road?

When the sky went dark at noon, it wasn’t just a weather event—it was God marking the moment His wrath fell on Jesus for our sin.

In this episode, we explore the darkness that covered the land during Jesus’s final three hours on the cross. We dive into what darkness meant in the Old Testament, why God dwells in “unapproachable light,” and how the fear of the Lord is actually the beginning of knowing Him.

Jesus entered the impenetrable darkness of God’s wrath so we could walk in His light. This changes everything.

AFTER THE AMEN QUESTION: What is a small view of God that you have that needs to change?
