About this Episode

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”
