The Cross is the Center of the Universe | Elisha's Riddle Podcast | Season 2, Ep. 8
Jul 23, 2026 • Nick Padovani, Dylan DeMarsico
The Cross is the Center of the Universe. Nick and Dylan unpack the cross from a few different angles this week: it as the kiss of God, the moment he sealed his love for us in his own blood, and it as Jesus' coronation, the "lifting up" language in John's Gospel pointing to a king being crowned. They also dig into the crown of thorns as an unexpected coronation and what it actually means to receive the gift of the cross instead of just working for God.
