About this episode
In this episode, the hosts discuss the concept of the narrow road to life as described in Matthew 7:13-14, exploring its implications for believers and the nature of spiritual journeys.
Most people think they’re going to heaven. But Jesus says the road to life is narrow — and few find it. Not many. Few. In this episode of the Amen Podcast, Alex and Lokelani sit in Matthew 7:13-14, right at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, and unpack one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. The wide road is crowded, comfortable, and covered in destruction. The narrow road is hard, lonely, and crushing — and it leads to life. We talk about: * Why the wide road isn’t just for atheists — it’s full of religious people * What the Greek word for “hard” actually means (hint: it’s about grapes) * The difference between the general call and the effectual call of God * Why you didn’t find the narrow road — it found you * What Pilgrim’s Progress teaches us about the narrow gate * The Zoe life — and how to recognize it in your own story After the Amen: Are YOU on the narrow road? 📖 Matthew 7:13-14 | Matthew 22:14 | John 10:9 | Matthew 13:44 INSTA: https://www.instagram.com/amenpodcast/ 🌐 amenpodcast.com 💸 Support us: Venmo @amenpodcast | Cash App $amenalex 📍 House Church — Kauai, Hawaii 📬 P.O.
