In a culture that idolizes comfort and success, what does it mean to live a life shaped by the cross? In this powerful teaching, Dr. Joseph Mattera unpacks the call of Christ to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. Drawing from Scripture and church history, he contrasts cultural Christianity with cruciform discipleship—where surrender, sacrifice, and obedience are the marks of true spiritual maturity. This episode is a sobering yet hope-filled reminder: resurrection power only flows through crucified lives.
