Counting the Cost: Following Jesus in the Face of Adversity

Episode Description

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to follow Jesus, especially when it costs you everything? Join us in this compelling episode as we explore the profound theme of counting the cost of discipleship in Christianity. We dive deep into the teachings of Psalm 103 and Luke 14, reflecting on the importance of remembering God's benefits and the ultimate victory secured through the cross. We'll discuss the biblical understanding of suffering, encouraging believers to remain steadfast and grounded in the assurance of God's love and grace, no matter what external challenges they face.

We'll also share personal narratives of embracing Christianity despite cultural and familial opposition, shedding light on the critical role of community support and God's empowerment. Through these discussions, we aim to inspire you to stay true to your faith and resilient through challenging periods, deeply rooted in the transformative power of steadfast faith and spiritual growth.
