AMEN PODCAST

Your enemies sealed the tomb. God still opened it.
Alex teaches Matthew 27:62-66 and reveals 6 characteristics of the enemy — fake, flippant, feeble, fickle, futile, and fallible — and why understanding them protects you from blaming yourself when people come against you. Nothing the enemy does can derail what God has already ordained. Not a seal. Not a guard. Not a lie. Lokelani closes with a raw, honest reflection on fear of man and what it looks like to actually let go. Nothing is wasted.

What does real devotion to Jesus look like — not in theory, but in real life?
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
