Welcome to Focused on Christ, where we are passionate about exalting Christ and equipping the church!

In this milestone 50th episode, Mike Crump is joined by Pastor Nathan Smith for a deeply moving conversation on the most incredible display of love in all of history—the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Together, we walk through key moments from Mark 15 and Luke 23, asking essential questions about what Christ’s suffering and death reveal about the heart and character of God the Father.

• Why did Jesus remain silent before His accusers?

• What does the release of Barabbas show us about grace and substitution?

• How does God respond to mockery, injustice, and cruelty?

• What is the significance of the darkness, the torn temple curtain, and Jesus’ final words?

We also explore why Jesus had to suffer, how His death frees us from the power of sin (Romans 6:6–8), and what it means to live daily in light of the cross.

If you’ve ever asked, “What does the crucifixion mean for me personally?”—this episode is for you.
