In this episode, Jamie and Raz explore one of Jesus’ most radical and freeing teachings: “Take up your cross and follow Me”
. What does it really mean to die to self—and why is it essential for truly gaining Jesus and living in the Kingdom?
They reflect on the dangers of leadership that hasn’t gone through the cross—when a person hasn’t died to self, they often lead out of insecurity, control, or self-promotion, which can harm others. The conversation also turns toward the subtle poison of unforgiveness
and how it keeps us from walking in freedom.
Jamie and Raz offer some practical steps for cultivating a secure identity in Christ:
- Guard your heart from pride
, comparison, and bitterness - Spend daily time in the Word
to renew your mind - Ask the Holy Spirit
to reveal unsubmitted areas and invite His transformation
This is a raw, honest, and hopeful episode—reminding us that when we die to self, we actually come alive with Jesus.
