THX Episode 179 - Resurrection as Resistance: What the Empire Couldn’t Kill

Read the post

Overview:
This episode reframes resurrection not as a passive miracle, but as a radical act of resistance. When systems try to erase you — through shame, exile, or violence — resurrection is reclaiming your voice, your story, your worth. We explore how the resurrection story speaks not only to the divine, but to the defiant: to those who rise after being written off, cast out, or crushed by empire.


In This Episode:

  • Why resurrection is political, not just personal

  • What it means to rise after being silenced or erased

  • How power responds to life it thought it had conquered

  • The emotional labor of reclaiming identity and truth after trauma

  • Why resurrection is a blueprint for peaceful, persistent rebellion


Key Concepts Covered:

  • Resurrection as identity reclamation

  • Empire’s fear of those who rise again

  • Shame as crucifixion; healing as resurrection

  • From obedience to embodiment


Featured Frameworks:

  • PERMAH: Flourishing reborn after grief, trauma, or control

  • Micro-Moments: Every act of reclaiming life is a resurrection

  • 12 Utilities: Restoring dignity, voice, agency, and recognition

  • Admiration Equation: Awe is not in domination but in defiance and healing


Memorable Quote:

“The empire never had the final word — it only had the loudest one. Resurrection whispers: I’m still here.”


Reflection Prompt:
Where have you been told your story was over?
What truth in you has survived everything meant to bury it?
