Did Easter Sunday feel full - full church, full schedule, full feelings - and then Monday arrived quieter than you expected?

That gap between what you anticipated and what you actually feel has a name. And it is good news.

In this episode, we walk through a psychological concept called the arrival fallacy, a moment from the Emmaus Road that most Easter sermons skip, and why your quiet Monday might be one of the holiest parts of your week.

In this episode, you will discover:

• Why your brain naturally softens emotional intensity after a meaningful event - and what that reveals about how you process what matters most
• What two ordinary followers on the road to Emmaus teach us about the pace of recognition
• How one deliberate practice called "savoring" helps meaning settle deeper than the initial experience ever could

SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT: Luke 24:13-16

Research note: Arrival fallacy (Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, Harvard); hedonic adaptation (Frederick & Loewenstein, 1999); savoring and wellbeing (Bryant, 2021; Ward et al., 2024)
