Show Notes

Easter egg hunt last year was like watching world end. Kids stampeding everywhere. Big ones stepping on babies. Parents losing their minds at me because their precious child only found three eggs.

Standing there thinking Jesus didn't come back from dead for this nonsense.

Had no plan at all. Just threw eggs on grass and figured it would work out somehow. Obviously didn't because kids turn into animals when candy's involved.

We're talking about why throwing all ages together creates gladiator situation. How I accidentally started parent war over plastic eggs. What I learned when everything went wrong and I wanted to disappear forever.

Also why planning these things requires actual strategy instead of just hoping for best. And how this year maybe won't be complete disaster if I actually think about it first.

Might recognize your own event failures here. We've all been there apparently.

For anyone whose Easter hunts became war zones, leaders who've accidentally traumatized families with terrible planning, and people ready to try again without winging it completely.
