Course 5 of The Journey of Life invites you into one of the most misunderstood yet life-giving aspects of the spiritual path: the way of the cross lived inwardly and daily.
In the previous course, you explored the inner dynamics of soul, flesh, and spirit. This course continues that journey by gently turning toward surrender—not as loss, but as transformation. Rather than focusing on external suffering or religious effort, The Cross Within — Dying Daily explores the quiet, interior process where the self loosens its grip and a deeper life begins to emerge.
Here, the cross is approached as an inner meeting place where resistance softens, truth brings healing, and the Spirit leads with patience and care. Through reflection and mindful awareness, you’ll learn how surrender differs from suppression, how trials can reveal attachments, and how inner death often becomes the doorway to unexpected life.
This course does not rush or force change. It invites you to notice where striving still exists and how grace gently replaces effort. Scripture and spiritual language are offered as reflective companions rather than rules to follow.
As this course concludes, it prepares you for the next step in The Journey of Life: The Renewal of the Mind, where surrendered ground becomes fertile soil for new patterns of thought, clarity, and spiritual growth.
