We’re diving deep into the importance of prudence, wisdom, and the value of truly counting the cost of following Jesus in this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast.

We’ll explore what it means to be strategic, careful, and wise in our decisions, both spiritually and practically. From managing responsibilities to making kingdom-minded choices, Jesus calls us to be disciples who live thoughtfully and faithfully.

📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Proverbs 8:12 – “I wisdom dwell with prudence...”
Luke 14:27-33 – “Which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost...”
John 6:68 – “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.”
Romans 1:1 – Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ
2 Corinthians 5:14 – “The love of Christ constraineth us...”
Matthew 25:21 – “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
1 Corinthians 6:20 – “For ye are bought with a price...”
Luke 15:3-24 – The parables of the lost sheep, coin, and son—God's view of our value

This episode is for anyone who wants to live with purpose and avoid drifting through life without direction. Jesus is looking for followers who are all-in, fully committed, and ready to build with wisdom and love.

💡 Let’s not make the calling of God look convenient or trendy. Let’s count the cost, glorify Him with our lives, and walk in the value of the price He paid for us.
