Denied usually feels like a bad word. Denied for a loan. Denied for a date. Denied the keys to the car after failing the driving test. But what if denial is actually at the heart of what it means to follow Jesus?

In this message from our Identity Crisis series, we look at Jesus’ powerful challenge in Matthew 16:24—to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. That’s not the version of Christianity our culture often sells. Jesus isn’t inviting us to keep our lives the same with a little religion sprinkled on top. He’s inviting us to surrender.

What happens when we stop following our way and start following His? And what might we be holding onto that’s keeping us from fully surrendering?

This episode will challenge you to rethink what it truly means to follow Jesus—and the life that waits on the other side of surrender.
