Pick up your cross and disciple. Thursday morning revival recap.

What if following Jesus meant giving up everything you thought you couldn’t live without? In this episode of the Fishbag podcast, fish baggers are invited to wrestle with the real, raw cost of discipleship—a message that cuts through comfort and challenges listeners to count the cost of truly following Christ.

Host JP unpacks the powerful word shared by Fabi at Barcelona’s 81 Space Revival Morning, diving deep into the tough teachings of Luke 14 and Matthew 16. These aren’t the verses that get embroidered on pillows—they’re the ones where Jesus calls His followers to lay down family ties, personal dreams, and even their own lives to become true disciples. The episode explores how accepting Jesus’ invitation isn’t just about saying yes to Him, but also about stepping into the role of discipling others. Being a follower and a discipler are inseparable parts of the Christian journey.

Drawing vivid parallels between the Israelites’ escape from slavery in Egypt and the believer’s journey out of spiritual bondage, this episode challenges listeners to leave behind their “Egypt”—the old life, comforts, and identities that once defined them. Renouncing everything for Christ isn’t a one-time act, but a daily decision to let go of what was and embrace the new life Jesus offers.

The reality of this call is brought into sharp focus: for many around the world, following Jesus is a life-or-death decision, not just a matter of convenience or comfort. The Western church may not face the same level of persecution, but the call to radical surrender remains. Listeners are reminded that the Christian life isn’t a guarantee of ease or earthly rewards, but a call to perseverance, sacrifice, and unwavering faith.

Yet, the episode doesn’t end with challenge—it ends with hope. Jesus Himself modeled this total surrender, leaving everything to rescue humanity and bring each person into God’s family. The invitation is clear: the treasure of knowing Christ is worth every sacrifice, and the joy set before us far outweighs the cost.

Fish baggers are left with a stirring question: What will you do with this invitation? Will you join the dance of discipleship, laying down your life to gain everything in Christ? The call is urgent, the reward eternal—don’t wait another second to say yes.
