Episode 8 - Taking Up the Cross

In this episode of Echoes of Sunday, Pastor Steve and Pastor Dan continue the “Glimpses of Glory” series by exploring Jesus’ challenging call in Matthew 16–17 to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him, a call that flows directly from Peter’s bold confession and the surprising rebuke that follows. Together they unpack the narrative that moves from the messianic secret to the Transfiguration, showing how Jesus reveals His glory not only on the mountaintop but also through suffering, obedience, humility, and the way of the cross. Through an honest conversation about expository preaching, discipleship, pride, servanthood, and the paradoxes of the Gospel where the first become last and greatness is found in serving others, Dan and Steve help listeners see how these passages prepare our hearts for Lent, Holy Week, and Easter. This episode invites believers to wrestle with what it really means to follow Jesus, surrender self, set aside ego, and embrace the grace-filled and countercultural life He calls us into as we journey with Him from confession to glory.
