In this powerful episode, we’ll collide with a question that hits at the core of Christian faith: Is discipleship meant to be easy? Through Scripture and timeless insights, we’ll explore the true cost of following Jesus and why it’s a journey worth taking.

Summary

• Defining Discipleship: We unpack what it means to be a disciple, a lifelong commitment to follow Jesus, not just a label.
• Counting the Cost: Jesus’ parables in Luke 14:28-33 warn us to weigh the commitment, urging us to renounce all for Him.
• The Demands of Discipleship: Mark 8:34 lays it out: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus daily.
• The Hard Road: Discipleship is a tough, transformative process, sculpting us through trials in a resistant world.
• Grace and Reward: Though costly, grace makes it bearable, and the eternal rewards make it reasonable.

Key Takeaways

• Discipleship demands total surrender: your will, comfort, and life to Jesus.
• It’s a daily choice to deny yourself and embrace the cross, not a one-time act.
• The journey is hard, but it transforms us into who God created us to be.
• Grace sustains us, balancing the cost with the promise of eternal treasure.
• Following Jesus deepens our faith, even through suffering and sacrifice.
