About this episode

The episode explores what it means to live the 'Good Life' by joining Jesus on His mission and discussing the challenges and rewards of following Him.

This week, Pete, Matt, and Lane continue the conversation from Matthew 10, exploring what it means to join Jesus on His mission. They discuss why so many Christians feel unqualified to share their faith, the difference between planting seeds and harvesting, and how God often uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Along the way, they wrestle with why following Jesus is often difficult, yet ultimately leads to the richest and fullest life possible. The conversation also touches on parenting, marriage, purpose, and why investing in God's Kingdom is always worth it. A thoughtful conversation about discipleship, evangelism, purpose, and discovering the life Jesus invites us to live.
