About this episode

Madi and Grant talk about one of the most convicting teachings of Jesus: the narrow gate. Following Him isn't the popular path, and it's not the easiest… but it's the one that leads to life.

 

This conversation challenges the idea of comfortable Christianity and calls us back to what it really means to count the cost and walk in obedience.

 

My prayer is that you would have the courage to choose the narrow way, even when it's hard, and trust that it leads to true life in Jesus.
