Derek Mack dives into the raw reality of the cross, saying that to truly “get” Christianity, we have to understand the cross—it’s *everything*. He calls out how we’ve softened the cross into this cute, peaceful symbol when in reality, it was a brutal torture device.

Derek unpacks 12 powerful ways the cross transforms a believer’s life. He ends the message by asking us to reflect on three specific ways our lives should look different in light of this revelation.
