THROUGH & BACK AGAIN: Transfiguration, Trials, and Truth | E8

What if the glory you’re chasing can only be reached by walking straight through the fire?

-Originally recorded on August 5, 2024-

In this episode, we follow Christ up the mountain of Transfiguration — and then back down into the valleys of real life, real suffering, and real growth. As school starts and summer fades, the lesson is simple but hard: the light isn’t found by escaping the world, but by enduring it with grace. From Psalm 23 to the wisdom of Gandalf, from Matthew’s Gospel to the hard-earned grit of student life, this is a call to take up your cross, face the trial, and follow the One King.

No shortcuts. No skipping Good Friday. Glory comes through the Cross.
