Chris Stefanick Catholic Show Hate your mom?! What Jesus really meant & what it means for YOU
Did Jesus really say, “Hate your mother”? It sounds more like a death-metal lyric, right? Nope…those are Jesus’ words in Luke 14.
So what’s up with that? Was He telling us to literally despise our parents? Of course not. But He was making one of the boldest, most shocking points He ever made: our love and loyalty to Him must be so much greater, so much higher, that even your deepest family bond looks like hate in comparison.
In this episode, I dive into this hard of Jesus and explain why love is free but costs you everything. What You’ll Discover:
What “hate your mom” really means (and doesn’t mean)
Why following Jesus will cost you everything and why that's GOOD news.
Why cheap grace can destroy faith and what costly grace really means.
Why you can’t call Jesus a “good teacher” He is either a Lord, a lunatic, or a liar.
The saints that went all in and never looked back
How putting God first doesn’t take away your life, but gives it back to you in fullness.
Jesus’s love is free, but it’ll cost you everything. And when you give Him everything, you discover the only life worth living.
