Billy Graham sat at a dinner table in his 90s and got asked a simple question: if you could preach one more time to one more packed stadium, what would you preach? His answer was instant and surprisingly narrow. Not a trend, not a headline, not a personal victory lap, but Galatians 6:14, a verse that puts every kind of pride on trial and leaves us with one place to stand: the cross of Jesus Christ. We use that moment to slow down and ask what we really boast in. Is it our accomplishments, our grind, our “good dad” moments, our ministry output, or our reputation? We also take a hard look at what our social media says about our loves and loyalties. If someone only saw our posts, captions, and comments, would there be enough evidence to recognize faith in Jesus, or would they just see another person building a brand? Galatians 6:14 pushes the conversation deeper with crucifixion language: the world crucified to us and us crucified to the world. That means real repentance, real surrender, and real change. We talk through everyday places the old self clings on: pride, drinking too much, flirting, and refusing to forgive. We also define humility in plain terms: not thinking less of yourself, but thinking about yourself less, with your eyes fixed on the cross.
