In this week's message, Pastor Chase dives into the powerful words of Jesus in John 15:9 and unpacks a hard but vital truth: You cannot follow Jesus without actually following Jesus. While culture teaches us to follow our hearts, Scripture reminds us that our hearts are often drawn to idols that distract us from the true source of life—Jesus.

Through personal reflection and biblical insight, Pastor Chase challenges us to examine where we’re abiding: in the world or in the Word. He explains that abiding in Jesus naturally leads to two things that often make us uncomfortable—obedience and joy—and why both are essential markers of a life fully surrendered to Christ.

This message will confront the excuses we make, the idols we chase, and the comfort zones we cling to. More importantly, it will invite you to rediscover the freedom, joy, and purpose that come from abiding in the love of Jesus.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your walk with God or just need a reminder of what true discipleship looks like, this episode will encourage and challenge you to go deeper in your faith.
