What does it really mean to follow Jesus Christ? In this powerful conversation, we explore the uncomfortable truths about discipleship that many churches avoid discussing.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why Jesus never hides the demands of the gospel in "fine print"
- What it truly means to deny yourself and take up your cross daily
- The difference between adding Christ to your life vs. giving your life to Christ
- How to practically live for God's glory instead of your own recognition
- Why persecution and difficulty are promised parts of following Jesus
π Scripture References:
Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27, John 15:14, Matthew 10:38
This isn't about earning salvation - it's about the heart transformation that genuine faith produces. If you're tired of watered-down Christianity and want to understand what Jesus actually taught about following Him, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
π¬ Discussion Questions:
- How does our culture try to make the gospel "easier" than Jesus presented it?
- What does daily cross-bearing look like in your life?
- How can we find the motivation to live sacrificially for Christ?
