## Resource

One of the most recognized symbols of Christianity is the cross. Some people wear a cross around their necks without realizing the power of what they're wearing. The cross is central to the teaching of Christianity. It is God's message of hope and forgiveness to a dying world. My latest podcast explores the meaning and power of the Cross.
