What if the problem isn’t that you’re carrying too much—but that you’re carrying the wrong things?

Jesus never promised a life without weight.

He promised a weight that fits. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites us to put down the identities, expectations, and pressures we were never meant to carry—and pick up the life He actually made us for.

This week, Brian Tome helps us to discover what Jesus wants you to drop, what’s actually yours to carry, and why following Him can make even a full life feel lighter. Recorded live in Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You have a default system setting that’s draining your battery: control. And when it’s time for an upgrade, most of us just keep hitting “Remind Me Later.” Control feels safe because it’s familiar. We plan, predict, manage, and try to guarantee the outcome. But eventually, control makes our lives smaller—and our relationships harder.

This week, Alli Patterson shows us why we’ve mistaken a controllable life for a faithful one, and what happens when we finally uninstall control and learn to trust God instead. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

You Need a New OS | Why Control Feels Safe—But Isn't

Sometimes life feels like a game that's impossible to win. Every day is another roll of the dice, another task, another decision. But what if there was another way to play?

This week, Kyle Ranson shows us how Jesus invites us to play the game in an entirely different way. You don't have to carry the burden, because He's already doing that for you. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio

You Don't Have to Live Life Exhausted

When you think of filters, you might think of the one in your Brita you haven't changed in 8 months, or maybe 2010's era Instagram. But whether you know it or not, like a camera lens, you have a filter that affects how you view everything in your life. This week, Alli Patterson dives into the story of Abigail and how God might be inviting us to change our filter, and as a result, everything else. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
