## Resource

What if following Jesus isn’t about improving your life… but completely replacing it?In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack Luke 5 and have an honest, real conversation about what it truly means to follow Jesus. From Levi leaving everything behind to the powerful parables of new wine and new wineskins, this episode challenges the idea that we can hold on to our old life while stepping into something new.But we don’t stop at theology—we get practical.We talk about why it’s so hard to let go of old habits, how to recognize the areas God is calling you to surrender, and the difference between discipline, discipleship, and deliverance. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re trying to grow but keep falling back into the same patterns… this conversation is for you. #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #Luke5 #SpiritualGrowth #Deliverance #BetweenSermons
