The Paradox of the Cross: Power in Weakness, Victory in Death


Listen Later

The cross is the greatest paradox in history.

It looked like defeat—but it was the ultimate triumph.

It looked like weakness—but it shattered the power of sin and death.

It looked like shame—but it crowned Jesus with glory.

In this episode, I explore how the cross confronts every worldly definition of success, power, and identity—and why it remains the central symbol of the Christian life. From first-century scandal to present-day distortion, we'll examine what it means to embrace the way of the cross in a culture obsessed with platform, applause, and self-preservation.

Because the Gospel doesn't promise comfort—it promises crucifixion.

But on the other side of the cross… is resurrection.

👉 Tune in to be challenged, centered, and freshly awakened to the call of Christ.
