In Matthew 19, people bring children who have nothing—and a rich man who has everything. Jesus welcomes one and challenges the other. Why? Because Jesus isn’t impressed by what we’ve built, earned, or protected. He’s after trust, surrender, and a heart willing to let go. This episode digs into the clash between what we look for—security, success, control—and what Jesus is actually looking for. The question underneath it all is unavoidable: what you’re chasing… is it really worth what it’s costing you?
