The CrossCounsel Podcast
Welcome to the CrossCounsel Podcast! Since 1997, we've been finding a better way to experience healing, growth, and maturity in Christ.
Join our co-founder, Rev. Steve Freitag, and special guests as they explore how the Spirit of Jesus transforms us into people who are strong, steady, sturdy, secure, and appropriately compassionate.
Diving into our MELT Process isn't easy, but it's well worth it. Those who are willing to engage with both their present and historical pain—and confront their "demons"—can discover unimaginable freedom and peace.
Much of this may feel surprisingly simple, yet deeply transformative—strangely normal.
Together, let's do all we can in the work God calls us to do.

202 | When the Net Doesn't Hold
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it really mean to be equipped as a follower of Jesus?
It’s more than knowing the right answers. In the Gospels, the biblical picture includes fishermen mending their nets—repairing the weak places so the nets are ready for the strain ahead.
In this episode, Steve explores why CrossCounsel pays attention to emotion without making emotion the destination, how our present struggles can expose what our hearts actually believe, and why truth needs to reach deeper than our heads.
Then we revisit a powerful 2012 CrossCounsel video featuring men describing what happened when they stopped assuming this is as good as it gets and began inviting God into the places that weren’t holding.
In a world of increasing darkness, we don't just want to know the truth. We want to be mended, strengthened, and equipped to stand.
