In this episode, Rebekah and Gabe sit down with Rich Villodas to explore the themes of his latest book, The Narrow Path: How the Subversive Way of Jesus Satisfies Our Souls. Rich shares why he felt compelled to write about the Sermon on the Mount and how its radical teachings are more relevant than ever in today’s culture, especially in a time of political and social unrest. 

They discuss how moralism, success-ism, and individualism can trap us on the “broad path” without even realizing it and how Jesus' countercultural way frees us to live and love well.

Listen in as Rich shares wisdom on how to avoid feeding anxiety, which can lead to bondage, and offers insights on resilience, the importance of spiritual rhythms, and how to practice obedience to the teachings of Jesus in our everyday lives.
