Count the Cost: Following Jesus in a Hostile World

---

Episode 487

What does it really mean to follow Jesus when the cost is high?

In this week’s episode, Jerrad reflects on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk; not just as a political figure, but as a brother in Christ who boldly proclaimed the gospel until his final moments.

Drawing from Luke 9 and his own experiences at the Dad Tired retreat, Jerrad challenges men to slow down, quiet the noise, and seriously ask: Am I all in with Jesus?

You’ll hear:

• Why silence matters for hearing God’s voice
• How Charlie Kirk’s final words point us to courage and hope
• The danger of being overly eager or overly cautious in discipleship
• What it means to “count the cost” before putting your hand to the plow

This episode is a sobering call to examine our “but first” excuses and to step fully into the life Jesus is calling us to live.
