Beyond the Flesh: A Life of True Surrender

from Better Word · host Lukas Allison

Living a life of forgiveness doesn’t happen by accident—it’s a choice. And that choice is often tied to something deeper: the call to deny ourselves in order to fully follow Jesus.That’s where Luke 9:23-27 challenges us. Jesus tells the crowd that whoever wants to be His disciple must let go of their comfortable, self-focused life and instead reach for something greater. It’s a hard choice—but it leads to the most transformative relationship we could ever have.In this episode, we’re diving into three essential questions:🔹 What does it mean to deny ourselves? – Our culture urges us to chase comfort, prioritize self, and find fulfillment in temporary things. But Jesus offers something far greater—eternal life. What does it look like to embrace that?🔹 Why is surrender worth it? – Setting aside our desires, comforts, and agendas may seem extreme, but following Jesus leads to a deeper purpose and lasting joy. What makes this path worth choosing?🔹 How do we learn to deny ourselves? – This isn’t just about a one-time decision—it’s a daily practice. How do we step into surrender in a way that draws us closer to Jesus?If you’ve ever wrestled with personal desires, if denying yourself feels like an uphill battle, or if you’ve asked, Why should I follow Jesus anyway?—this episode is for you.So grab your Bible, your favorite drink, and an open heart—let’s go Beyond the Flesh together.#BetterWordPodcast #TrueSurrender #FollowingJesus Tune in and let’s explore this together.
