Here & Now: Why Is Following Jesus So Hard?


Listen Later

Following Jesus isn’t just a one-time decision… it’s a daily surrender. And if we’re being honest — that’s not always easy.

In this episode of Here & Now, we talk about why following Jesus can feel so difficult, even when we know it’s right. From denying ourselves to trusting God’s timing, there’s a real tension between our will and His — and we all feel it.

Jesus never promised an easy life. He promised that it would be worth it.

We dive into:

  • Why surrender is so hard
  • The battle between flesh and Spirit
  • Letting go of control in a world that tells you not to
  • Why “hard” doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong
  • What it actually looks like to follow Jesus today

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re wrestling with your faith — you’re not alone. This is a real, honest conversation about what it means to follow Jesus right here, right now.
