The Life of A Disciple: Carry Your Cross // Be One Before You Build One // Troy Culbreth

“The Life of a Disciple: Carry the Cross” teaches that following Jesus is more than admiration—it’s daily surrender. Pastor Troy reminds us that our lives are sermons people read every day, and true discipleship means denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Christ in obedience and love. It’s not about wearing a cross as decoration, but carrying it as a declaration of surrender. When we lay down pride, fear, and control, we exchange hidden weight for visible freedom. The backpack of sin crushes us in secret, but the cross raises us into new life. Real disciples don’t just wear the jersey—they’re in the game, living surrendered, transformed, and alive in Jesus.
