The Contrast Between Self-Indulgence and Self-Denial

What does it really look like to die to yourself? It’s a phrase often heard in church but rarely lived out in radical, visible ways. In this episode, Francis Chan confronts the quiet drift happening in the Church—where believers try to hold on to their lives while adding Jesus on top. Through Scripture and the powerful story of a village in China that chose selfless love over personal comfort, Francis invites us to wrestle with the truth: following Jesus isn’t about adding Him to our plans—it’s about letting go completely.
