In this episode, Steve beautifully reveals how this week's scriptures challenge us to move from self-protection and performance to a life of surrender, peace, and transformation in Christ. It reminds us that the Christian life is about being with Jesus Christ—living in His presence, following His Word, and trusting Him through every season. 

Living the supernatural life of the cross is a life that is deeply connected to Christ, not to our achievements or the approval of the world. The world says, “Live for yourself. Build your own life. Make sure people notice you and your success.” But the life of the cross says, “Live for Christ. Deny yourself. Take up your cross. Follow Me.”

This life is disconnected from worldly values. We don’t live for external validation, but for internal transformation. The cross becomes the defining point of our lives—not just as a symbol of suffering, but as the pathway to glory, the pathway to true life. Through the scriptures we find that the cross is where the natural life dies, but it’s also where the supernatural life of Christ begins.

When we live in Him and through Him, we are free from the pressure to perform, to impress, or to control our circumstances. It’s all about yielding to Christ’s life in us, trusting that He will work all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
