Excel & Reflect Podcast with Garrett Bernethy Season 1, Episode 15 — "Three Things About Discipleship"

In a world constantly shaped by competing philosophies and a consumer culture that has even influenced how many people approach the church, what does it truly mean to follow Jesus? In this episode, Garrett opens up Luke 6:17-49 to unpack three essential truths about discipleship, the blessings it brings, the demands it makes, and the response it produces in the life of a genuine follower. Rooted in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, this episode is an honest and challenging reflection on what it means to move beyond simply attending church and into a life of real surrender, sacrifice, and service to Christ. If you've been asking what it actually means to follow Jesus, this episode is for you.
