## Resource

Obedience can feel complicated, but Jesus made it simple. In this episode, Francis Chan unpacks John 15 and shows how obedience and love are inseparable. When Jesus calls us to keep His commands, He ultimately points us to one: love one another as I have loved you. This kind of love goes far beyond words or weekly gatherings. It’s sacrificial, generous, and rooted in a deep trust that God’s commands lead to life and joy. Looking at the example of the early church in Acts, this teaching challenges us to move beyond cultural Christianity and step into a life marked by radical love and real obedience.
