Bow Ties, Bomber Jackets, and the Blood of Jesus

This week on Beyond Sunday, Steve Buttram hosts a lively roundtable with Paxton Redd, Josh Hensley, Kevin Lee, and Tate Wells as they reflect on an unforgettable Easter at the Bruce. With humor and humility, they recount wardrobe misfires (“pastel regrets,” bomber jackets, and comb-over comments), but quickly turn to the deeper beauty of the day: baptisms, salvations, and the unshakable presence of Jesus. The team marvels at how everything flowed—from worship to the Word—and how it all pointed to Christ, not performance. Kevin walks through the heart of his Easter message, Death Will Die, reminding listeners that Jesus’ resurrection doesn’t just mean life after death, but freedom from shame, sin, and the power of the curse.

The conversation digs into the emotional tension between repentance and shame, emphasizing how genuine repentance turns us back to grace rather than weighing us down in guilt. Kevin shares a powerful illustration about returning to sin, using a dog and a hidden chain to reveal how shame can either drive us to freedom or keep us trapped. The crew closes with a preview of the new series, Before You Go, aimed at equipping people for the transitions of life with gospel truth. Kevin believes we may be on the edge of a great spiritual awakening, and this series is positioned to speak boldly into that cultural moment. Plus, a listener-submitted question lets Josh open up about how he prayerfully and thoughtfully selects worship songs to align with the teaching—though he jokes about using a hat and some divine finger-pointing from Tate.
