This week on Southern Sisters, we’re diving into what it means to truly prepare for the Savior—not just at Easter, but in the everyday.

Through heartfelt stories and simple family traditions, we explore how to create a Christ-centered Easter that reflects our faith, strengthens our families, and keeps oil in our lamps as we await His return. We reflect on the Parable of the Ten Virgins and how each of us is filling our spiritual lamps in different ways. From the names of Christ that bring us comfort in hard seasons to the creative ways we teach our children about faith, this episode is a beautiful blend of real talk, spiritual insight, and sisterhood. And be sure to stay to the end for a special musical treat—a soul-stirring reminder of the One we celebrate this Easter season. 💡

Takeaways:

The Parable of the Ten Virgins reminds us to stay spiritually ready—no one can borrow your oil.

You’re not alone—community matters in both celebration and sorrow.

Easter traditions can be meaningful and joy-filled.

The names of Christ meet us in every season and every struggle. Faith-centered traditions don’t have to be complicated—they just need heart.

Your family’s version of Easter doesn’t have to match anyone else's.

Hard things can deepen our understanding of the Savior’s love.

Tender mercies are everyday reminders that God is near.

You can teach children faith through simple, creative, hands-on ways.

Focus more on the why than the what when it comes to tradition.
