Take Up Your Cross: A Radical Invitation | Speaker Jeanette Holt (11.01.26)

What if following Jesus was never meant to be comfortable? In this bold and hope-filled message from Mark 8, Jeanette unpacks Jesus’ radical invitation to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me. What if gaining everything still costs you your soul? What does the cross look like in everyday life — at work, at home, and when no one’s watching? And what if the Holy Spirit really does put wheels on the cross, making what feels unbearable possible? This sermon challenges comfort-driven faith, exposes the limits of success and approval, and invites us into the upside-down kingdom where losing your life is how you truly find it.
