Episode Synopsis
                            Send us a textHi, and thanks for joining us today! We love public recognition for something great we did, but public humiliation is the worst! When Peter hears Jesus predict his death, he jumps right in to say he doesn't want that to happen, fearing the public humiliation. Jesus' reaction might seem strong, but listen in as Pastor explains why it was a justifiable response. Christ asks us to take up our crosses and follow him. Hardship can serve a purpose in this life, so carry it with purpose, knowing Christ carried his, died and rose to guarantee an eternity for all of us in heaven with him!

You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
