Thought-Provoking Quotes:
“I love the moment Christ walks out [of the tomb]. It proclaims in word and deed and in miracle that death does not have the final say. And who does He first entrust this message to? Women. It is such a liberating and empowering message for you, for me, and every woman out there.” - Margaret Feinberg
“It’s so easy to go to those negative places. A simple practice we all can engage in is making declarations that are rooted in scripture and begin rewiring our brain toward a new reality. Where there is death, I will speak life. Where there is brokenness, I will speak wholeness. And that can really begin to shift things, not just for ourselves, but for those around us.” - Margaret Feinberg
“Christ embraces us and our doubts and our fears and our questions and our skepticism, that there’s no question that is too big or too hard for Christ and His compassion and His resurrection power to answer.” - Margaret Feinberg
“When we let go of our final breath, that resurrection power that is in Christ is coming for us. And we will get to stand face to face with the one who made us and loved us more than we could ever imagine.” - Margaret Feinberg
