About this episode

Have you ever felt like you really have something down? Maybe a sport, a task at your work, or getting the laundry folded regularly! You have finally mastered it. And then, when you thought everything was (finally) going as you planned and worked for, something comes up. You get hurt, your work changes, a child gets sick and everything is thrown off once again. Today we will encounter this in a man who has been seeking to follow the commandments since he was a young boy. He thinks he has it all together in order to have eternal life. But when Jesus invites him to something deeper, something more, he is crushed, as he will have to "start over" in some ways. Are you willing to take the next step to growing closer to Jesus?
