This week we dive into the immersive and challenging training Jesus provided for His disciples. There is a high cost to following Him—we must be willing to give up wealth, ambition, and even family. But what we give up is small in comparison to what we are promised.

This is the Week 2 introduction, ”Training with the Master,” from the Spring Training journal, which you can download for free at firstdallas.org/springtraining. Our thanks to Davin Hutchinson, our Associate Student Minister of Worship, who served as the reader for this podcast.
