In this final message of The Stories We Tell, Pastor brings a clear and challenging word from Matthew 16:24–27 about what it truly means to follow Jesus. When the world tells us to choose comfort, success, and self-preservation, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and say yes to a life that costs something—but leads to everything.

This message confronts the pull of culture, exposes the emptiness of worldly pursuits, and reminds us that our yes to Jesus shapes every part of our lives. As we enter Big Give Sunday, we're invited to respond with faith, obedience, and surrender.

If you've been wrestling with what it really means to follow Christ, this episode will give you clarity, conviction, and hope.
