*Spiritually* Preparing for Easter

Easter is considered "one of the big ones" in most churches. That's why proper preparation is key. There are plenty of blogs, podcasts, and books that detail the practical steps to ready yourself and your church for Easter Sunday. Instead, I want to focus on the spiritual and emotional ways you can prepare for Easter.

Let's take a moment to discuss how you can get ready for Easter in three areas:

1. In your personal life

2. In your family

3. In your ministry

Reflection Questions:

Q1: On a scale of 1-10, how much pressure are you feeling about Easter?

Q2: Does your personal time with Christ or quality time with your family ever suffer while preparing your ministry for Easter? In what ways?

Q3: How can you prioritize your personal time with God this Easter season?

Q4: How can you nurture your family this Easter season? How will you communicate that to your spouse and children so expectations are set?

Q5: How can you spiritually prepare your church staff and volunteers for Easter?
