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)
