About this episode

The episode discusses the personal costs of following Jesus and the challenges of obedience through personal stories and biblical references.

What happens when following Jesus costs you something you never wanted to lose? In Luke 18, Jesus challenges the rich young ruler with a question that still confronts us today: What are you unwilling to surrender? In this episode, we’re talking about the real cost of discipleship. I’ll share the story of my brother walking away from the faith because he felt it demanded too much and I’ll open up about one of the hardest seasons of my own life…God calling me to step away from leading worship, something I wrestled with for over a year girl If you’ve ever wondered whether obedience is worth it, struggled to let go of something you loved, or felt like God was asking too much of you, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the only way through what God asks of us… is with God Himself. So grab your bibles, some tea and idk maybe tissues? As always my DMs are open!!
