Episode #80-Week 5 of Clinging to the Cross

This week on the Bible Thumpers podcast, we wrapped up Week 5 of Clinging to the Cross and wow… this one was real in the best kind of way. We dug into what it truly means to stay close to Jesus when life is heavy, when obedience feels hard, and when we don’t fully understand what God is doing. There was a lot of honest conversation about surrender, trust, and choosing Christ even when our flesh wants to run the other direction. And somewhere in the middle of all that depth, April comes in with a full-blown broccoli parable that somehow made us laugh and think at the same time. Only her. It was one of those moments that reminded us that God can use the simplest things to teach us something powerful if we are willing to listen.This episode really leans into the heart of Lent and what it means to not just talk about the cross, but to actually cling to it in our everyday lives. We talked about laying things down, letting God refine us, and learning to trust Him even when it feels uncomfortable. It hit close to home in a lot of ways, especially in those seasons where you are doing your best to stay faithful but still feel stretched thin. This one felt like sitting around the table together, being honest, laughing a little, and reminding each other that Jesus is still worth it, always.
