About this episode
The episode discusses how humility can drive gospel movement, featuring stories from the Romanian church and insights from Philippians.
We sit down with Brittany Riva, to talk about Crossroad's Missional Outpost led by Jason and Julie Botbyl and Phlippians 3. What if the church isn’t built on gifting, strategy, or comfort but on humility? In this episode, we explore powerful stories from the Romanian church, where radical sacrifice and gospel clarity have led to explosive yet faithful growth. Anchored in Philippians 2, we unpack what it means to live “cruciform”shaped by the self-emptying way of Jesus; and how suffering becomes a catalyst for deeper joy, freedom, and Christlikeness.
