If Jesus Is Lord, Life Looks Different


Listen Later

If we truly believe Jesus is Lord, then his words matter… even the ones that challenge us. In this week’s conversation, we reflect on Luke 6:46: “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” Jesus does not rebuke here, but invites each of us personally to reflect on teachings, words from God, or passages of Scripture we truly believe. Let's also allow it to be an invitation to ask: which of Jesus's words and teachings have I forgotten or discarded because they are difficult.

All of us have places where obedience feels costly or inconvenient. Yet Jesus never calls us to follow him on our own strength. Let's also look at what he does to help us?

Throughout the episode, we also explore:

  • how the Holy Spirit prompts us toward deeper faithfulness
  • why some of Jesus’ teachings feel difficult and what that says about our spiritual growth
  • how grace strengthens our weak places
  • the invitation to reflect on areas where we’re not fully following him
  • the simple, daily yes that forms real discipleship
  • Book Fred and/or Kara to speak by visiting the Draw Near "booking page."
