Ultimately, John points us back to the heart of God as our true refuge, encouraging believers to pursue a life of deep, transformative discipleship.If this episode encouraged you, take a moment to rate and review the podcast—your feedback helps others discover these conversations.

Christianity isn't a spectator sport—it's a radical call to action. In this message, Pastor David takes a deep dive into understanding that the Kingdom of God demands more than mere spectatorship. It's not about feeling good or simply securing a spot in heaven; it's about dying to self and living fully surrendered to Christ.Together we'll unpack how true Christianity is a radical commitment to Christ's ways, contrasting the superficial comforts of modern culture with the transformative power of living like Jesus. Inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we confront the concept of "cheap grace" and explore what it means to imitate Christ authentically.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

Who Do You Say That I Am? A Call to Deep Discipleship For hundreds and hundreds of years in the Catholic tradition, . . . . . . well before the image of the rainbow was co-opted for other agendas less connected to the gospel of the Lord, the rainbow set in the sky as a sign of the covenant has long been held to be a symbol of Our Lady. It is not uncommon in some parts of Europe to find stained glass windows or art in churches, which would feature a rainbow with Our Lady enthroned upon the top of it. This image of the bright and glorious rainbow after the flood was seen as a sign of Our Lady assumed into the glory of heaven. Placed on a throne to watch over the people and so that when they looked up and saw her, knowing that they could turn to her for her intercession and to help them come to know the Lord, they were looking at a sure and certain sign that our salvation indeed had been won. Jesus and His Disciples The Gospel passage reflects on a key turning point in the Gospel of Mark, where Jesus begins to shift His focus from public teaching to forming His disciples. The reflection emphasizes that Christian discipleship requires consistent commitment rather than occasional engagement. As Jesus questions His disciples about His identity, Peter declares, “You are the Christ.” However, Jesus instructs them not to share this yet, as their understanding is still incomplete. True knowledge of Christ requires embracing the mystery of the cross. Jesus then reveals His impending suffering, death, and resurrection, which Peter initially resists, prompting Jesus' rebuke: “Get behind me, Satan.” This underscores the contrast between human thinking and God's plan. The passage connects this lesson to Lent, a time for deepening discipleship, self-denial, and embracing the cross as the path to true knowledge of Christ. Listen to this meditation Media.

When evangelical christians were asked if everyone born is innocent in the eyes of God, 65% said, "yes". 48% of evangelicals agreed that God learns and adapts to different circumstances, while a staggering 43% agreed that Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God. With the Bible being more accessible than ever, research shows that Biblical literacy is at an all time low. In today's conversation, you'll hear Jen Wilkin explain how the church can change that! Jen Wilkin is a Bible teacher from Dallas, Texas. An advocate for Bible literacy, she has organized and led studies for women in homes, churches, and parachurch contexts. She as authored multiple Bible studies and books, including the bestseller, "Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible iwth Both Our Hearts and Our Minds.". Brian Daniel and Haley Malone interview Jen Wilkin, and discuss the importance of Bible literacy and the need for a clear understanding of core beliefs. They also explore the evolution of discipleship conversations in the local church and the role of community and learning environments. Jen introduces the concept of Training the Church, which focuses on active, dedicated learning spaces that encompass the Christian story, Christian belief, and Christian formation.

In the series conclusion, John, Blaine, and Allen offer stories and insights on how God strengthens his people in times of crisis. One key trend is the growth in deep discipleship. Rather than try to fit a little bit of God into our busy schedules, we must take our life with Jesus seriously by seeking his Kingdom first—and then seeing what else there is room for. That's the only way to remain strong, love well, and stay in union with God as this world grows more chaotic.Show Notes:1) Follow Blaine's Substack writings at https://blaineeldredge.substack.com/2) Find more about the Rule of Life Workbook here.3) The Prayer of Descent document is available here._______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
