In her sermon, Elisabeth emphasizes the significance of recognizing true beauty, contrasting it with the superficial beauty standards set by pop culture. She discusses how the cross, though initially perceived as grotesque, reveals the beautiful humility of Christ and serves as a model for living a life of self-giving love. Elisabeth highlights that true beauty stems from humility and self-sacrifice, urging the congregation to embody these qualities in their relationships and interactions. Ultimately, she calls for a cruciform life, where followers of Christ emulate His humility and love, transforming the world through their actions.

The Encounter Faith Podcast is dedicated to creating space to slow down and dive deeper into the critical conversations we’re having every week at Good Shepherd. We fundamentally believe that you cannot encounter the risen Lord unchanged, and through the replays of our Sunday Sermons and conversations with our pastors and community leaders, we are prayerfully pursuing the author and the perfecter of our faith, together.
