Luke 17 is about the lonely middle ground of faith.
The celebrations of finding God have faded. The hard work of staying faithful has begun. And suddenly being right with God feels more complicated, not easier.
In Day 17 of The Luke Challenge, Grant dives into the uncomfortable spaces Jesus addresses in Luke 17. What it really means to cause someone to stumble. Why forgiveness can feel impossible. How entitlement quietly sabotages obedience. And the hidden homesickness that comes after healing, especially for those leaving addiction, incarceration, or crisis.
This episode blends deep historical and cultural context with raw personal reflection. From ancient Roman execution practices to modern reentry loneliness, from prison community to building new tables when the world shuts doors, Luke 17 becomes a chapter for anyone who feels untethered after the valley.
If you have ever wondered why healing feels lonely, why obedience goes unnoticed, or why you miss a season you know you cannot return to, this episode is for you.
This is not a teaching from above. It is a walk alongside.
