The Fire That Divides: Living the Cost of Discipleship | Interview with Bill Kassel (Ep. 475)

In this episode, we unpack one of Jesus’ most arresting declarations: that He came not to bring peace, but fire—and even division. We explore what that means for our homes, our witness, and the cost of true discipleship in a culture allergic to truth. Through five marks of a faith set ablaze, we expose the subtle lies that keep us lukewarm, reveal the psychology behind moral compromise, and share real-life examples of courage, conviction, and passing the flame to the next generation. Then, we’re joined by award-winning author Bill Kassel to discuss his powerful biblical novel My Brother’s Keeper, a moving reimagining of the life and times of Jesus that challenges us to encounter the Gospel story in fresh and compelling ways.
