In this powerful message delivered by Bryan Dawson at Reformation Baptist Church, we are reminded of a biblical truth often overlooked in modern evangelicalism: humiliation precedes exaltation. From the suffering of Christ to the refining trials of everyday Christian faithfulness, Bryan walks us through Scripture and life examples to show that God's pattern is clear — pain produces progress, pruning produces fruit, and adversity produces strength.
This message honors faithful saints like Voddie Baucham, John MacArthur, and Charlie Kirk, while calling us to embrace the sanctifying work of daily obedience — in our homes, churches, and vocations.
Whether you're enduring a season of sorrow, facing daily burdens, or simply desiring to grow in holiness, this message will encourage and challenge you to embrace the cross... because the crown follows.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
