Dad Tired

The Tragedy of Almost Following Jesus


Listen Later

Today's Sponsor: The Go Bible

Have you ever told Jesus, “I’ll follow you”… but deep down knew there were conditions?

In Luke 9, Jesus encounters three men who all say they want to follow Him. One is overly excited but hasn’t counted the cost. One delays, waiting for a more convenient time. And one wants Jesus—but still keeps looking back.

Each one is close. But none fully surrender.

In this message, we explore the uncomfortable truth about discipleship: following Jesus will cost you everything. Not because He wants to harm you—but because He wants to heal you, transform you, and make you fully alive.

Jesus isn’t looking for momentary excitement. He’s looking for faithful disciples who are all in.

This message will challenge you to ask:

• Have I counted the cost?
• Am I delaying obedience?
• Am I still looking back at my old life?
• Or am I fully surrendered?

The greatest tragedy isn’t rejecting Jesus outright. It’s almost following Him your entire life.

Scripture: Luke 9:57–62
