Christian Straight Talk: Boasting Only in the Cross

Galatians 6:14 – Reverend Ben Cooper & Simon Pinchbeck

Welcome back to another unfiltered and powerful episode of Christian Straight Talk, where Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck dive into the Word with boldness and clarity. This week’s discussion centers around a deeply convicting verse from the New Testament, Galatians 6:14:

“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”

This scripture isn’t just theological — it’s transformational. It cuts through cultural Christianity and compels believers to realign their identity, not in achievements, status, or even ministry, but in the finished work of Christ alone.

Ben and Simon unpack how modern faith can easily drift toward boasting in human efforts, church platforms, or social media influence. But Paul’s radical message to the Galatians was clear: the cross is everything. Without it, we are nothing; with it, we find true freedom, purpose, and power.

💥 Key Talking Points in This Episode:

• What does it really mean to boast in the cross?
• Why the Apostle Paul rejected worldly status, religious tradition, and fleshly confidence.
• How to crucify your ego in a culture that thrives on self-promotion.
• Living a cross-centered life in an age of Christian celebrity culture.
• The difference between religious activity and true spiritual surrender.

You’ll also hear personal reflections from Simon Pinchbeck — a former Metropolitan Police officer and ex-criminal — about what happens when pride is replaced by the grace of Jesus. His journey, like Paul’s, is a real-world example of the transformation that only the cross of Christ can bring.

This isn’t about religion. It’s not about denomination or tradition. It’s about Jesus — and the unshakable power of His sacrifice on the cross.
