We all feel it right now. The bills are piling up, our families are stretched thin, and life feels like one long struggle to make ends meet. In moments like this, we long for comfort, stability, and a little peace. But what does it really mean to follow Jesus when He tells us that the path to life is the path of the cross?
In this episode, we open Luke 14 and wrestle with one of the hardest truths in all of Scripture: following Christ will cost us everything.
Yet in losing, we gain. In surrendering, we find freedom. Even when the world strips us bare—when we are hungry, poor, overlooked, or weary—Christ Himself is our portion. He never leaves. He never forsakes.
This is not about empty religion. It’s not about politics or wishful thinking. It’s about the living Christ who bore injustice, who submitted to rulers for our sake, and who now reigns as the King who promises hope even in the darkest nights.
The question is not, “Will it cost me?” The question is, “Is Christ worth it?”
