In this episode, we explore a powerful image of the cross as a raft drawn from James K.A. Smith’s On the Road with Saint Augustine. We reflect on how God doesn’t send us a battleship or a cruise liner to cross the ocean between where we are and where we long to be—but a rough, wooden raft in the shape of a cross. It’s uncomfortable, vulnerable, and splintered—but it keeps our eyes fixed on home. Join us as we consider the cost of self-reliance, the illusion of comfort, and the invitation to surrender control to the One who can carry us safely to shore.
