Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack continues an incredible message from Dr. Geoff Kunselman recorded at the South Central Ohio Camp Meeting.

We often think being like Jesus simply means being kind or well-behaved—but this message takes us deeper. True Christlikeness is about laying down our lives, entering into the pain of others, and saying “yes” to God—even when it’s uncomfortable or costly.

Through powerful teaching in Philippians and the story of missionary Amy Carmichael, we’re reminded that:

• Knowing Jesus and becoming like Him go hand-in-hand
• Following Christ means embracing both resurrection power and sacrificial love
• God calls us to step into the needs of others with compassion and courage

This is a deeply challenging and inspiring call to live a cross-shaped life—the way of Jesus.
