What does picking up your cross look like practically speaking for evangelicals? What does picking up your cross mean in every day life?
———————————
I’ve read the related questions to this verse
>“And he who does not **take his cross** and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.”
Matthew 10:38
But the responses are obscure and ambiguous and if applied practically I wouldn’t know what exactly to do. The answers are still relegated to the realm of abstract and conceptual theory.
What is a working definition, or a practical definition, or a practical application for take (up) your cross in the evangelical circles.
Please keep this a serious discussion, don’t include answers like getting married, the spouse being the cross, or being terminally ill, no one willingly takes on terminal illness, especially excruciatingly painful kinds. It needs to make sense to the text.

Or in the same vein, if it won’t be misconstrued as a separate question, crucify the flesh. They both seem to be saying the same thing.
>Gal 5:24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have **crucified the flesh** with its passions and desires
