"Why Do You Seek the Living Among the Dead?"

In this powerful Easter Sunday sermon, Reverend Holt reflects on the angelic question posed to the women at the tomb: “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” With heartfelt candor and humor, he weaves together personal testimony—including his journey from atheism and an unexpected childhood arrest at Disney World—with deep theological insight.

Reverend Holt challenges the congregation to consider where in their own lives they may be looking for life among dead things—whether in relationships, self-made identities, or cultural illusions like the “happiest place on earth.” He contrasts these hollow pursuits with the eternal hope and transformative reality of the risen Christ.
