In this week’s episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison, Andrew McPheron, and Josh Horne unpack John 6:60–71 — a powerful and sobering moment where many of Jesus’ own disciples walk away.

After hearing Jesus’ hard teaching about eating His flesh and drinking His blood, the crowd says, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” What follows is one of the most defining moments in the Gospel of John — and in discipleship itself.

📖 In this episode, the team explores:

• Why so many followers left Jesus after this teaching

• The difference between being confused by Jesus and being offended by Jesus

• How this moment reveals the birth of deconstruction — and what healthy vs. unhealthy questioning looks like

• The tension between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility (“No one comes unless the Father draws him… and yet you must believe”)

• Why Judas’ story is both tragic and deeply theological

• What Peter’s words — “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” — mean for us today

• Why true discipleship is more than proximity to Jesus — it’s daily belief, surrender, and perseverance

💬 The conversation also dives into:

• Ancient vs. modern mindsets about truth and tension

• The balance between intellect, body, and spirit in following Jesus

• The beauty of God’s grace even when His teaching feels hard
