Simon shares how his understanding of strength was completely reshaped by Jesus. Once drawn to power, toughness and the world's picture of masculinity, he discovered a different kind of strength in Christ - one that holds courage and compassion together. Because true strength isn't found in aggression or power, but in the One who carried the cross with perfect gentleness, kindness and love.
