In this episode, we reflect on a powerful quote by the late pastor and author Tim Keller:

“The real Jesus requires more than you ever thought, but offers more than you ever imagined.”

Too often, we settle for a comfortable, convenient version of Jesus; a Savior who fits into our schedule but doesn’t disrupt our lives. But the real Jesus isn’t just looking to inspire us, He wants to transform us.

This episode invites you to go deeper in your faith, to surrender more fully, and to receive the unimaginable beauty of a life centered on Christ. We’ll explore what Jesus truly requires of us and the far greater reward He promises. If you've ever felt like there must be more to your walk with God, this is your call to step into it.

Scripture highlights: Luke 9:23 , Colossians 1:17 , Romans 12:2, John 10:10 , 2 Corinthians 5:17 , 1 Corinthians 2:9, Psalm 16:11

Hey friends, this has been on my heart for a long time…

I’ve wanted to add a charity component to The Nook Podcast—a way for this community to rally together and actually make a difference in the lives of hurting people.

And I can’t think of a better recipient than Crisis Aid International.

Together, we can be the light in the darkest places.
