A Radical Minimum Standard (Luke 9:18–25)

Many Christians feel the tension between the radical life Jesus describes and the ordinary life we often settle for. In Luke 9:18–25, Jesus cuts through our confusion with a breathtakingly clear call to follow Him—one that exposes our comfort, awakens our courage, and resets our expectations for discipleship. This passage helps us see what true devotion looks like, what it costs, and why it’s worth everything.
