Jesus calls his followers to take up their cross and follow him. But what does that look like in a culture that has reduced the cross to a piece of jewelry and avoids pain at all costs? Lane and Kyle discuss what bearing one's cross might look like in the life of a disciple today. 

After a stretch of hard seasons, Kyle and Lane took some time to reflect on what being faithful truly means. This episode was recorded a little under a month ago but seems more true today than it was then. Waiting is only a comforting term when the promise is realized but until then faithfulness must persist. We explore this concept in a spontaneous and conversational episode this week on twelve: thirty-two.

How do we, as Christians, look at situations of moral failure in leadership and seek God's justice for the oppressed and the oppressor? Kyle and Lane take a look at God's desire for justice for the least of these, humility for Christians in leadership, and the importance of accountability for all people. In part 1 Kyle and Lane addressed moral failures in leadership, and in this episode, they continue that discussion with more specifics toward the victims and accountability.
