Following Jesus: The Pros and Cons

What does it really cost to follow Jesus?

In this episode, John Ortberg explores one of Jesus' most misunderstood invitations: "Count the cost." Drawing from Dallas Willard's The Renovation of the Heart, he explains why discipleship is not an emotional decision but a thoughtful one. More importantly, he asks a question many of us rarely consider: What is the cost of not following Jesus?
Discover why surrender isn't the loss of life, but the pathway to the greatest treasure you'll ever find.
