What does it really cost to follow Jesus?

In this episode of The Overflow Podcast, we walk verse-by-verse through Matthew 8:18–34, where Jesus challenges would-be disciples, demonstrates His authority over nature, and casts demons out of the oppressed.

This passage forces us to wrestle with real questions:

• Are we truly willing to follow Jesus wherever He leads?

• Do we trust His authority even when life feels chaotic?

• What happens when the power of Christ confronts darkness?

In this discussion we unpack:

The true cost of discipleship

Why Jesus told some people not to follow Him immediately

The deeper meaning behind Jesus calming the storm

The shocking story of demons entering the herd of pigs
