EP 391: The Cost of Calling: What It Really Takes to Follow Jesus

Deskripsi

What if the very thing holding you back from your future is what you refuse to let go of? Following Jesus isn’t comfortable, convenient, or predictable—but it is always worth it. In a culture that celebrates options, security, and self-promotion, God calls us to something radically different: surrender, faithfulness, and full devotion. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks 1 Kings 19:1–21 and the powerful moment when Elisha burns his ploughs to follow God’s call. Through this message, you’ll discover why calling is not something you chase—but something you prepare for through faithfulness right where you are. This episode will challenge you to let go of what’s familiar so you can step into what God has prepared, reminding you that a life fully surrendered to Jesus is always worth the cost. ✨If you ever asked questions like… ● Why does following Jesus feel so costly? ● How do I know when it’s time to let something go? ● Do I have to have everything figured out before I obey God? Then this is for you. 💡What you’ll learn: ● Why you must let go of the past to step into God’s future ● How faithfulness in the “ploughing” season prepares you for your calling ● What it really means to go all in with Jesus—without a backup plan 📘 Want to grow deeper in a flourishing life with God?
