3Crosses Podcast

After the resurrection, Jesus meets Peter on the shore—not to condemn him for his failure, but to restore him through a deeply personal conversation filled with grace, truth, and invitation. This message explores how Jesus pursues us in our lowest moments and invites us into healing, calling, and a renewed relationship with Him.

On Resurrection Sunday, we see how Jesus meets us personally—pursuing life-changing conversations filled with grace, mercy, and restoration. Through Peter’s story, we’re reminded that our failures don’t disqualify us; instead, Jesus invites&nbsp...

In this Palm Sunday message, we see Jesus revealed as a different kind of king—one who doesn’t conquer through power, but through sacrifice, confronting sin, death, and broken systems to bring true freedom. As Holy Week unfolds, we’re invited to recognize that His ultimate victory wasn’t on a throne, but through the cross and resurrection, where He pursued a personal relationship with us at any co...

On Palm Sunday, we ask: what kind of king is Jesus Christ? Walking through Holy Week, we see a King who confronts hypocrisy, defeats sin and death, and ultimately gives everything to pursue a relationship with us. This message invites you to experience the weight—and the beauty—of the week that changed everything. Palm Sunday • Danny Strange

This week, Pattie Krohn walks through James 3:13–18, exploring the difference between earthly wisdom and wisdom from above. True wisdom begins with a pure heart and flows outward in peace, humility, and generosity, while earthly wisdom is driven by envy and selfish ambition. Discover how we can receive God’s wisdom through awe, surrender, and community—and experience the good life it produces.

James contrasts two wisdoms competing for allegiance. Earthly wisdom fractures, elevates self, and produces disorder. Wisdom from above is singular, pure, peaceable, and fruitful. The single-minded life learns to see the world through God’s wisdom alone, cultivating peace and righteousness wherever it goes. From our "A Study Through James" series • Pattie Krohn

Why do our words cause so much damage—even when we don’t mean them to? In this message from James 3:1–12, Austin Payne explores how the tongue reveals the condition of the heart and how Jesus offers not just forgiveness for our words, but a new source for them.

James reveals speech as a diagnostic of inner wholeness. A divided heart produces contradictory speech — praise and cursing from the same mouth. A single-minded life produces consistency because it flows from a unified source. Maturity is revealed not merely in belief, but in the everyday words that shape relationships and direction.

In this week’s message, Danny Strange walks through James 2:14–26 and the relationship between faith and deeds. While we are saved by faith alone, the kind of faith that truly saves never stays alone—it transforms how we live. Discover how the Gospel is meant to shape our words, compassion, and everyday decisions.

James confronts compartmentalized faith. A double-minded person treats faith as important but peripheral — a belief that exists alongside self-directed living. A single-minded person allows faith to become the core from which all action flows. Works do not earn salvation; they reveal where allegiance truly resides.

In this episode pastor Danny dives into James 2:1–13 to unpack how favoritism reveals the world’s value system in us and why mercy is the antidote God gives. Through real-life examples and Scripture, Danny shows how receiving mercy from Christ empowers us to see and stop for others the way Jesus does.

James addresses how divided perspective distorts community. Favoritism emerges when believers allow the world’s value system to pollute God’s view of people. The single-minded life sees others through the mercy of God alone — not through wealth, appearance, or influence. A single-minded church becomes a place where dignity flows from grace, not status.

In this episode, we slow down and explore James 1:19–27 , where internal noise — anger, impulsive speech, and self-justification — competes with the voice of God’s Word. A single-minded disciple doesn’t just agree with Scripture but receives it humbly, remembers it faithfully, and obeys it fully — allowing one authoritative voice to reorder their loves and reactions. True freedom is found not in r...

James moves from internal desire to internal noise. Anger, impulsive speech, and self-justification compete with the voice of God’s Word. A double-minded life listens selectively; a single-minded life receives the Word humbly and obeys it fully. Obedience is not legalism but clarity — allowing one authoritative voice to shape how we live. From our "A Study Through James" series • Austin Payne

Temptation isn’t random — it reveals where our hearts are still divided. In James 1:12–18, we see how desire, if left unchecked, leads somewhere destructive — but God’s unchanging goodness offers a better path. This episode reminds us that freedom begins with settled allegiance and remembering who we belong to.

James exposes temptation as a battle for allegiance. Desire pulls us inward, tempting us to believe false stories about God’s goodness and our fulfillment. Rather than blaming God, James redirects our focus: every good and perfect gift comes from above. Freedom from temptation grows as believers become single-minded — refusing to listen to the distorted voices within and anchoring their trust in G...

In this opening message of the James series, Pastor Danny explores why trials feel so destabilizing—and how they can become the very place God brings us toward wholeness. James invites us to see trials not as pointless suffering, but as refining fire that exposes our divided hearts and calls us into single-minded trust. When we waver, God remains steady, generously offering wisdom that leads us to...

James opens by confronting how believers interpret hardship. Trials reveal whether we are divided in our perspective or anchored in God’s purposes. While circumstances invite fear, bitterness, or despair, James calls believers to see trials through God’s lens — as instruments of formation producing endurance and maturity. The single-minded life refuses to toggle between competing interpretations o...

In this message from Acts 2, Pastor Danny Strange reminds us that transformation was never meant to happen alone. The early church devoted themselves not just to Jesus, but to one another—and God moved powerfully through their shared life. Discover why devoted community is where real growth happens and why the invitation to step in is still open for you today.

Abiding is deeply personal, but never private. Branches in the vine grow together. Jesus links abiding in His love to loving one another — sacrificially, consistently, and joyfully. The Christian life is a shared life, where we encourage one another, confess and pray together, carry burdens, forgive, and serve side by side. As 3Crosses launches a new season of Life Groups, we remember that transfo...

In this episode of the Abide series, we explore what it really means to follow Jesus as we go—beyond quiet moments of faith and into everyday life. From John 15:12–17, we see that abiding with Jesus looks like friendship with Him, obedience expressed through love, and living on mission in a way that bears lasting fruit.

Jesus makes it clear that obedience is not the entrance into His love but the expression of remaining in it. Obedience is how love takes shape in real life — in choices, habits, relationships, and desires. When we abide in His love, obedience stops feeling like religious rule-keeping and becomes partnership with the heart of God. Jesus calls us friends, not servants, because He reveals His heart a...

In this message from John 15:9–11, Danny Strange explores what it means to move beyond simply knowing that God loves us to actually living in that love. Through the images of family, apprenticeship, and home, we see how drift happens—and how Jesus invites us back into delight, closeness, trust, and partnership with the Father. Abiding joy, Jesus says, is found not in performance, but in remaining...

Jesus invites us to remain—not in fear, shame, or performance—but in the same love that the Father has always had for Him. This means God’s posture toward us is not reluctant or fluctuating but steady, joyful, and overflowing. Remaining in His love reshapes our spiritual life from striving to resting, from insecurity to assurance, from duty to delight. The result, Jesus says, is true and lasting j...

In this message, Austin Payne slows us down beneath outcomes and effort to recover Jesus as the true source of life. Rooted in John 15, the conversation reframes abiding not as a spiritual technique or performance metric, but as a grace-fueled posture of dependence on a Person. As pressure lifts, we’re invited to remain—learning that lasting fruit grows from connection to Christ, not control of ou...
