In this episode I talk about Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theological classic "The Cost of Discipleship" and how the Christian life is nothing short of a call to "come and die" imitating the same co-suffering love of Christ to a world desperate for someone to bear it's sins. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a brilliant theologian, pastor, prophet, and spy during the rise of Hitler and Nazism.
