Welcome Crosswalk PLUS subscribers! These raw, uncut video takes on Scripture are brought to you ad-free from the hearts of your favorite Crosswalk contributors. We'll examine a Bible verse, application and prayer in five minutes or less as an encouraging way to start any day.
Today's verse is Matthew 10:38-39 with Amanda Idleman.
And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
"I encourage you this week, and throughout every season of life, to examine what God is calling you to do practically in your day-to-day to take up your cross and follow Him so that you can be worthy of the call and love you've been granted by Jesus."
