Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, is offended by the flippant wearing of a cross as a fashion statement. He explains the significance of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on a cross to Christians. The history of the cross for crucifixion is outlined including the modern-day use of crucifixion. Dr. Hall points out that the practice of Christianity was outlawed until the fourth century when the Roman Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity. With the help of the Roman government Christian churches were built throughout the Roman empire and they included crosses in their architecture. The symbol of the cross played a role in darker episodes of history including its use by the Ku Klux Klan. The Christian community sees the cross as a central symbol of faith that Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross and that his death and resurrection offer salvation to humanity. Christians wear crosses for religious reasons, but many people wear them simply as a fashion accessory. Dr. Hall wonders if the most sacred image of other religions were worn as fashion accessories by half-naked women and rock stars, would it spark a protest? The podcast closes with Dr. Hall saying that he is not praying that nonbelievers will no longer wear the cross, but that they will come to understand what Jesus did for them so that they can wear the cross as a symbol of worship and not just fashion.
