Published On: Tue Mar 31 2026
Description: This episode lovingly equips parents to navigate the tension between fun Easter traditions and the truth of the resurrection. The hosts affirm that while eggs, bunnies, and cultural practices can be enjoyed, they should never overshadow the central claim of Christianity: Jesus truly lived, died, and rose again. Lindsey and Robin address common internet claims about Easter’s supposed pagan origins, showing that much of the argument rests on weak historical evidence and linguistic confusion. The conversation then shifts to the heart of apologetics—can we trust the resurrection? Through historical references, medical analysis of crucifixion, and eyewitness testimony, the hosts build a compelling case that the resurrection is not just symbolic—it is reality.Ultimately, the message is clear: parents can confidently teach their children both the joy of traditions and the truth of the gospel, without fear that one cancels out the other.Main Points CoveredBalancing Easter traditions with biblical truthClaims about pagan origins of EasterLinguistic origins of the word “Easter”Historical reliability of the crucifixionRefuting alternative theories (swoon, hallucination, body theft)Teaching apologetics to childrenPeople and resources mentionedThe Case for Christ - Lee StrobelThe Case for Easter - Lee StrobelRisen (film)Children’s ResourcesMelissa Cain Travis – How Do We Know Jesus Is Alive?Scripture ReferencesMatthew 27 – Crucifixion and resurrection narrative1 Corinthians 15:3–7 – Early creed and eyewitnessesMore from Mama BearCheck out our websiteBuy the Mama Bear Apologetics book (affiliate link)Join Our Email ListHave Us Speak at Your EventFollow us on social media FacebookXInstagramWant to support our ministry?Donate Here—Editing and Support by The Good Podcast Co. If you are interested in being a supporting sponsor of the show, please email sponsor@thegoodpodcast.co
