In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Asa Slaughter, and Priti Idrovo unpack Jesus' challenging words in Luke 6: \"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I say?\" Together, they explore the connection between faith, obedience, surrender, and trust, while sharing practical stories about relationships, forgiveness, discipleship, and learning to follow God even when it doesn't make sense. This honest conversation tackles questions many believers wrestle with: Why is obedience so difficult? How do you trust God when His plan feels uncomfortable? What happens when we want God's promises without God's process? Through humor, personal stories, and biblical truth, this episode reminds us that God's commands aren't meant to restrict us—they're meant to build a stronger foundation for our lives. Because at the end of the day, discipleship isn't just hearing what Jesus says. It's trusting Him enough to do it.
