About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of commitment and intentionality in faith through the parable of building a tower from Luke 14:28–30.
In this episode, we explore the powerful message behind Luke 14:28–30, where Jesus uses a simple but striking illustration: before building a tower, a wise person first sits down and calculates the cost to see if they can complete it. Otherwise, they risk laying a foundation and failing midway—becoming an object of ridicule. This passage challenges listeners to think deeply about commitment, especially in the context of faith and discipleship. Jesus isn’t just speaking about construction—He’s pointing to the importance of intentionality and perseverance when choosing to follow Him. True discipleship isn’t impulsive or casual; it requires foresight, sacrifice, and a willingness to follow through even when the path becomes difficult. Featuring Dr. Bryan Hurlbutt
