You’re Carrying the Wrong Weight

CROSSROADS CHURCH
About this episode

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.
