Resources Mentioned in the Episode


Are you following Jesus? 


Many want to be greater followers of Jesus but don’t know how. We extensively studied everything Jesus commanded of us and located five key targets to which Jesus invited His followers. The five targets are Being, Forgiving, Serving, Giving, and Going.

In partnership with LifeWay Research, we created a Red Letter Challenge Assessment that will measure you according to these five targets. And the best news of all: it’s free! You will receive your results immediately and be presented with the next steps to help you become an even greater follower of Jesus.


You can take the FREE Red Letter Challenge Assessment here.


Spiritual growth isn’t about willpower. It’s about training with Jesus in everyday life.
