In this episode, we unpack the difference between the “Genie Jesus” many seek—a Jesus who grants wishes, comfort, and immediate success—and the Real Jesus, who calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him in commitment, even through suffering. We dive deep into what it means to truly follow Jesus, highlighting the dangers of a human-centered gospel focused on temporary gains rather than eternal purpose. Listen in as we challenge common misconceptions and inspire a faith that acts, sacrifices, and endures.

Let these truths guide your heart as you follow Jesus daily:

✅ True discipleship means denying yourself, not just believing
✅ Taking up your cross is a daily commitment, not a one-time act
✅ Following Jesus requires active obedience, not just passive faith
✅ Asking in Jesus’ name means aligning with His will, not using a formula
✅ Compassion and love must go beyond intention to action

What happens when the disciples get territorial about Jesus?

In this powerful and practical sermon, we unpack Luke 9:44–50 where the disciples are more worried about who gets the credit than who gets set free. Through sharp rebuke and a hilarious grilling metaphor, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t our personal trophy—He’s the Savior of the entire world.

Learn how pride, exclusivity, and comparison can stunt kingdom impact and why unity in Christ matters more than denominational labels or ministry methods. If you've ever felt like others “aren’t doing it right,” this episode will challenge and encourage you to embrace humility and celebrate the bigger picture of God's work.

Let these truths guide your heart as you follow Jesus daily:

✅ Jesus isn’t just for your group.
✅ God can use people outside of your circle.
✅ Humility is the mark of greatness in God's kingdom.
