Key Verse: Luke 9:23 - And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me."
Our class' name, Crosstrainers, is intended to be a triple entendre: First, in referring to training to take up our own crosses; secondly, in referring to training in various ways spiritually as an athlete does physically; and thirdly, in referring to training to crossover from our microcosmic church world to our vastly varied individual worlds, or spheres of influence.
