About this listen
Wednesday, July 9: In this episode of The Daily Grind, John opens Mark 10 to sit with the Rich Young Ruler — a sincere, moral man who kneels before Jesus but can’t let go of what owns him. The story is more than a warning about wealth; it’s about anything we cling to instead of Christ. John digs deeper, sharing honest reflections, real-life examples, and practical questions to help listeners identify their own “one thing.” He reminds us that Jesus doesn’t want to rob us but to free us from what enslaves us. We hear about a modern-day story of surrender and learn that the real cost is worth the real treasure. John urges listeners not to walk away sad but to trust that Jesus always gives more than He asks for. There’s a prayer of surrender and a challenge to take action today. It’s a powerful reminder: what we hold tightest might be the very thing Jesus wants us to lay down.
