Commitment

Amen Podcast
About this episode

In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew 19, a chapter that tackles some of the most challenging aspects of Christian discipleship. We explore Jesus's teachings on divorce, singleness, and the cost of following Him.


Join us as we unpack these profound truths and discuss:

  • ​The sanctity of marriage and the devastating impact of divorce.
  • ​The unique gift of singleness and its potential for serving God wholeheartedly.
  • ​The radical call to surrender everything and follow Jesus, no matter the cost.
  • How to cultivate a heart of full commitment to God in the midst of a world that constantly pulls us in different directions.


This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the true meaning of discipleship and live a life fully devoted to Christ.
