Summary

What does it really mean to live radically for Jesus? Madi and Grant are back with another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, they are joined by pastor, author, and missionary David Platt at the Museum of the Bible for a powerful and convicting conversation about what it looks like to live on mission every day: from your neighborhood to the nations. So many of us have shaped the Gospel to fit our cultural preferences by chasing the American dream instead of taking up our cross. But Jesus calls us to something far greater. Together, Madi, Grant, and David talk about what it looks like to leave behind security, convenience, and comfort for the sake of the Gospel and how to live a life that actually reflects what Jesus said His followers would do. This episode challenges you to live set apart, to share the hope of Jesus boldly, and to count the cost of true discipleship. Because following Jesus isn't about fitting in... it's about being transformed and living for what truly matters.

Always stay you and stay true!

Questions/topics discussed and answered:
• What does it really mean to live a "radical" life for Jesus?
• How do we fight the pull towards cultural Christianity?
• What is the difference between the American Gospel and the Biblical Gospel?
• Does every Christian need to go overseas to be a missionary?
• What does it mean to be a true follower of Jesus?
AND SO MUCH MORE!
