## Resource

Have you ever found yourself wondering: “What am I missing as a Christian?” You know you’re saved. You believe in Jesus. You know Heaven is your home. But something still feels off. You feel like you’re drifting. You feel like you’re going through the motions. You feel like you’re not growing the way you thought you would. You sense that God has more for you, but you’re not sure why you’re not experiencing it. The truth is, many Christians know Jesus as Savior but never fully learn what it means to follow Him. Salvation was never meant to be the finish line. Jesus didn’t simply invite people to believe in Him. He invited them to follow Him. In this episode, we continue our series on Acknowledging Jesus by exploring one of the most important questions every believer must answer: Am I truly following Jesus, or am I simply believing in Him from a distance? We’ll discuss: • Why many Christians feel like they’re drifting in their walk with God • What Jesus meant when He said, “Follow Me” • Why salvation is the beginning of the journey, not the end • What it means to deny yourself and take up your cross • Why holding on to your own plans can keep you from God’s plans • How God reveals His purpose as you follow Him • The rewards Jesus promised to those who follow Him wholeheartedly Many believers think following Jesus means giving something up. But the reality is that following Jesus leads you into the life you were created for. God’s plans are not smaller than yours. They’re greater. If you’ve ever felt like you’re drifting, or missing something in your walk with God, or wondering if there’s more to the Christian life than what you’re currently experiencing, this episode is for you. 📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 4:19 Matthew 16:24-25 Mark 8:34-35 Luke 9:23 John 10:10 Subscribe f…
