Lamb of God 2026
One of the things I love most about Lamb of God is how the repeated rehearsal process allows the words of scripture to sink deeply into my heart. As I practice and hear the music over and over, the Easter story becomes more real and personal to me. I also love seeing the choir and orchestra come together, so many volunteers with busy lives sacrificing their time for one shared purpose: to bring people closer to Christ. The experience has even blessed my family, as my children have become more familiar with the Easter story by listening with me at home.

Lamb of God is the kind of music that changes lives. It has changed mine, blessed my family, and touched people I’ve never even met. Through this experience, I have come to know for myself that this production is something special, something inspired by God and by His Son, Jesus Christ. When I first heard Lamb of God last year, the music and lyrics of Thomas immediately spoke to me. His feelings of hurt and being left out felt deeply familiar, and stepping into that role has given new meaning to my relationship with the Savior. One of the most powerful moments in the production for me is Gethsemane, when the Savior pleads, ‘Abba, Father,’ and the choir and orchestra rise together with such force and feeling. In that moment, I have felt the reality of the Atonement in a deeper way. Even after Easter has passed, this is the kind of experience that stays with you.

What I’ve loved most about participating in Lamb of God has been the opportunity to meet new people while helping build something that truly glorifies God. This experience has strengthened my trust in the Lord and reminded me that He can magnify our efforts far beyond what we could accomplish on our own. The music has been one of the greatest surprises for me: I had never heard it before joining the production, and it is absolutely beautiful. I believe audiences should come because this production gives them a glimpse into the lives of the apostles and the hope that comes through knowing the Savior.

Lamb of God 2026
One of the things I value most about Lamb of God is the chance to step away from everyday life and focus my heart and mind on the Savior. Playing the role of the Accuser over the last two productions has also led me to think more deeply about the fullness of Heavenly Father’s Plan and the reality that even profound opposition had a place in bringing about the Atonement. What stands out most about this production is the Spirit that fills the room, not only for those performing, but for everyone in attendance. Time and again, people leave with a stronger testimony of the Savior and a deeper sense of His presence. This is a powerful opportunity to better understand Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection, as well as the roles others played in that sacred story.

Lamb of God 2026
I usually think of music and worship most strongly at Christmastime, but Lamb of God has helped me realize that Easter can carry that same spirit of reverence and devotion. It has broadened the way I reflect on the life of Christ, not only His birth, but His suffering, His resurrection, and all He did for us. One of the most meaningful connections for me this year has been between Martha and Thomas, both wrestling with grief, doubt, faith, and the need to be made whole through Jesus Christ. That insight has reminded me that faith and devotion are often messy, but that even in our doubt, we can turn to Him and find strength. One of the most moving moments in the production is when Mother Mary sings ‘Here is Hope’ at the foot of the cross. Even in that darkness, the message is clear: there is still hope.

For me, Lamb of God has been far more than a performance. It has been healing. I’ve loved learning the music, hearing the stories of others in the cast, and discovering the faith and devotion that brings each person back week after week. The message that means the most to me is that the Savior not only died, but lives, and because He lives, there is hope beyond this life. This production has strengthened my testimony, touched my spirit deeply, and been worth every mile of the four-hour drive I make each Saturday to be part of it.

I’ve loved getting to know such wonderful people through rehearsals, and it has also been meaningful to see the music impact my family at home. Hearing my children sing these songs and talk about how they make them feel has been especially touching. Lamb of God has helped me reconnect with something I love while playing beautiful music that lifts my soul and draws me closer to Christ.

Lamb of God 2026
Music has been part of my life since I was nine years old, so after moving to Florida three years ago, I deeply missed being part of a musical community. Lamb of God gave me that opportunity again. I’ve loved meeting local musicians and other members of the community, all united by the desire to bring people closer to Christ. Performing in this production last year was a tender experience that helped me feel more connected to Easter and to the reality of the Resurrection.

What I’ve loved most about participating in Lamb of God is that it brings the true meaning of Easter to life in a way that feels real and deeply personal. Through this production, I’ve come to see the people in the Easter story not just as names on a page, but as real individuals whose experiences feel relatable and alive. One of my favorite moments is when the orchestra enters after Isaiah 53:3-5. It’s powerful in a way that’s hard to describe. This production is uplifting, immersive, and profoundly meaningful.
