Whether you’re the king of the grill, the spiritual leader of your home, or just the guy holding a cup of coffee and watching chaos unfold—Easter is a time to laugh, reflect, and rejoice.

It’s about life over death. Victory over sin. And yes—maybe a few terrible jokes that bring the family together (if only to shake their heads at you).

Wishing you and your family a joyful, blessed, and egg-stra safe Easter.
Now go forth and egg-sasperate your loved ones—one Easter dad joke at a time.
