The Cost of Discipleship

In this episode, Jerrad shares the burden of watching good men fall. Not because they wanted to, but because they fed something that eventually took over. He talks about hidden addictions, quiet compromises, and the kind of decisions that seem small until they’re not. He tells the story of what it means to let sin grow, how it steals joy and freedom, and what it looks like to cut it out before it cuts you down. This is about finishing well, not through willpower, but by starving what’s trying to take you out.

Tune in to hear why your future depends on what you feed today.

• Why moral failure doesn’t start big
