In a culture driven by feelings, convenience, and self-satisfaction, commitment has quietly become rare. We often say we’re too busy, too tired, or too overwhelmed—yet we somehow find time for everything else. Our emotions change daily, but we keep letting them dictate our priorities, our faith, and our obedience.

In this episode, we talk honestly about the power of commitment—what it means to stay loyal when it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, and costly. Using the story of Ruth, we explore what selfless faith looks like in a generation that constantly asks, “What’s in it for me?”

Ruth stayed when she had every reason to leave. She committed without knowing the outcome. She chose loyalty over comfort—and God honored it in ways she could have never planned. Her story challenges us to examine our own walk with Christ and ask: Are we led by conviction, or by feelings?

We’ll talk about:

• Why feelings make terrible leaders
  

• How commitment requires sacrifice—but produces reward
  

• What it really means to deny yourself and follow Jesus
  

• Why God’s invitation is wide, but few are willing to commit
  

This episode is a call to stop making excuses, get out of our feelings, and recommit to what truly matters—our faith, our calling, and our walk with God. Commitment isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.
