#346 - Joby Martin // Only The Cross

Billy Graham had every reason to talk about his résumé. Instead, when we asked what he’d preach if he could fill one more stadium, he didn’t hesitate: Galatians 6:14. That moment has stayed with us because it cuts through the noise of modern Christian culture and brings us back to the one thing worth boasting in the cross of Jesus Christ. We close out Galatians by reading Paul’s words and letting them search us. What do we brag about when no one is asking? Do our conversations quietly orbit our achievements, our opinions, our image? And if someone only had our social media to go on, would there be enough evidence to “convict” us of being a Christian or would it mostly point back to us? We get practical and honest about the kinds of things that keep us tied to the world: pride, overindulgence, flirtation, bitterness, and unforgiveness that feels justified but rots the soul. Paul doesn’t offer a self-help tweak. He talks about crucifixion: the world crucified to us and us crucified to the world. We unpack what that means for daily discipleship, spiritual warfare, and real humility not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking about ourselves less because our eyes are fixed on the cross. If you want a clear, challenging, hope-filled reset for your faith and your priorities, this is it.
