The Other Six Podcast Episode 126: The Necessity of the Cross

If God is all-powerful, why did Jesus have to die? Couldn’t there have been another way? On this episode of The Other Six Podcast, the conversation wrestles with one of the most profound theological questions: Why was the cross necessary? You’ll explore Jesus’ plea in the Garden of Gethsemane, the holiness of God, the weight of human sin, and how Jesus became the bridge between a holy God and a sinful world. Through Scripture and honest reflection, the episode uncovers how the sacrificial system pointed to Jesus, how sin separates us from God, and why our understanding of holiness shapes how we live out our faith today. Plus, there’s a powerful challenge to consider the “dash”—the life we live between birth and death—and how surrendering control to Christ gives it purpose. Join Chad, Jim, and Matt on this powerful episode of The Other Six Podcast as they help you connect Sunday to the other six days of the week.
