The Joy of the Cross


Listen Later

In this episode, Zac reflects on Mark 8:27-35, where Jesus calls His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. But what does that really mean? Zac explores the deeper truth behind this call, focusing on The Joy of the Cross. Jesus teaches that discipleship is more than knowing His teachings—it’s about following Him, even to Calvary. Zac shares his own story of discipleship and how he embraced the cross when he was painfully sent home from religious life after five years of giving everything up for the Lord. Following Him leads not just to suffering but to the joy of encountering God’s greatest love.
