The costs to follow Jesus can't be overlooked, but the costs are a mere temporary blip compared to the glorious, eternal benefits of following and trusting in Jesus. "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison" 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:17‬.

The call to follow Jesus is not for the faint of heart. It is costly. It takes courage, faith, humility, selflessness, discipline, commitment, boldness, strength, and endurance to live a life committed to Jesus.  

Jesus’ last commandment on earth was to make disciples. We do that by sharing the gospel.

Nothing can pick apart the mind, heart, and soul quite like the word of God. The One who made all things also made you and me and can make us anew.

Everyone has a story to tell.
