A Discipleship Worth Recovering: The Crucified Jesus VS. The Cultural Jesus

What if the version of Jesus you’re following isn’t the real one? What if it’s a safer, more comfortable, culturally-approved Jesus—one who fits neatly into your ambitions, your lifestyle, and your schedule... but doesn’t call you to the cross, doesn’t ask you to die to yourself? In today’s episode of The Five Gifts Podcast, we’re diving deep into what it means to follow the crucified Jesus—not a culturalized one. And it just might change the way you see discipleship, leadership, and your walk with God. You’ll discover: • The traits of the “culturalized Jesus” we often follow unknowingly • What "cruciform" leadership really looks like • How brokenness, not performance, marks spiritual maturity This episode is for every leader hungry to recover authentic, cross-shaped discipleship—and walk in the gifts of Jesus with integrity and power.
