Ecclesiastes 4:9

What is so valuable about the kingdom of heaven that Jesus says it’s worth giving up everything?

In this episode, we reflect on Matthew 13:44–46 and explore the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value. Jesus invites us to see that His kingdom is not just an addition to our lives—it’s the greatest treasure we could ever find. To follow Him is to discover joy worth any sacrifice.

We’ll talk about what it means to treasure Christ above all else, the cost of discipleship, and how living with kingdom-first hearts reshapes the way we see everything else.

Join us as we uncover the life-changing truth that the kingdom of heaven is worth more than anything we could ever hold on to.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

In Luke 14:25–35, Jesus speaks to the crowds about the true cost of discipleship. Following Him isn’t about convenience—it’s about surrender. He calls us to love Him above all else, carry our cross daily, and count the cost of what it means to live as His disciple.

In this episode, we reflect on these challenging but life-giving words and wrestle with what it looks like to give Christ first place in every area of our lives. True discipleship is costly—but it’s also the path to true life in Him.
