In this episode, Dr. Stanley answers a common but often misunderstood question: What does it mean to take up my cross daily?

Dr. Stanley explains that true discipleship is not about denying ourselves of things, but denying self-centered living altogether. It's about making Jesus the center of our lives and walking in daily obedience to Him. This message is a compelling call to intentional, everyday discipleship—a one-way journey of living fully for Christ.
