We explore a simple daily practice: look at people, the past, and the future through the cross of Jesus. A vivid story of polar snow goggles anchors how a cruciform lens humbles pride, heals shame, and fuels purpose. • the cross as the believer’s lens for life • Paul’s focus on Christ crucified as a model • the snow goggles metaphor to prevent spiritual blindness • seeing nonbelievers with compassion not contempt • honoring fellow believers as blood-bought family • dismantling pride because salvation is all of grace • releasing shame and guilt through Christ’s finished work • approaching the future as service shaped by the cross • a morning practice of “putting on cross goggles” Share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating in review Support the show Want to connect?
