I AM, Part 5: I Am the Resurrection and the Life // Jordan Brokaw

We live by an unspoken rule: forget you're going to die. Stay busy, stay young, stay distracted... anything to avoid the questions death forces us to ask.

In Part 5 of I AM, Jordan Brokaw sits with the story of Jesus's friend Lazarus — the waiting, the grief, the disappointment — and Jesus's claim in John 11:25 that changes everything: "I am the resurrection and the life."

In This Teaching

• What "spiritual bypassing" is, and how it can quietly derail real grief
• Why Jesus wept at a tomb he was about to empty?
• The difference between resurrection as future hope and life as present reality
• What it would look like to live like death no longer defines you
