On this podcast Jim Putman, Senior Pastor at Real Life Ministries and Lance Wigton, Communication Director at Real Life Ministries, answer an often asked question - "Why would a church do an egg hunt for Easter?"
They talk about the fact that even though we know Bunnies and eggs have nothing to do with celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are always looking for ways to go outside of our walls and reach the world for Jesus one person at a time.
They explain the philosophy behind what we call a 'Bridge' event - and why it can cause people to take a step into a relational environment and bring them a step closer to a relationship with God and His Church.
