Summary

This week Leslie revisits some of the most foundations truths living set apart for Christ, in this inspiring episode on overcoming spiritual apathy. In this episode, Leslie reminds us that to truly be Christ's disciple - we must start all in for Jesus and stay all in for Jesus: No matter what happens in our lives, no matter what happens in the world around us, no matter how many temptations come against us, no matter how many disappointments we face, and no matter how misunderstood or reviled we are. In times like these, we all need to be freshly resolved to count the cost, take up our cross and follow Him. This message helps us gain a clear vision for the crucified, radically devoted, and incredibly fulfilling life He has called us to.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Leslie Rooney, host of the Sutter Part Podcast, biblical encouragement for women of all ages.
0:14.0	We were just wrapping up our most-asked question series and the one that I wanted to really
0:18.6	emphasize at this point is the question, how can I avoid spiritual mediocrity this is a passion
0:26.1	point for me it's something that God just keeps putting his finger on in my life I
0:29.6	think it is so easy in American Christianity to start out with passion and vision in our Christian walk and then just slip into a place of
0:37.0	mediocrity and apathy in our Christian walk or walk with Christ. So we're going to tackle that question today in this episode and I just wanted to
0:45.0	mention before we dive in that we have a new online store if you haven't heard of
0:48.9	it yet shop dot set apartorg and it's a great place to start browsing for Christmas gifts.
0:54.5	We have our Set- Apart magazine there, a lot of other resources, even some fun clothing

1:26.7	whoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple for which of you intending to build a tower does not sit down
1:35.1	first and count the cost whether he has enough to finish it. Likewise,
1:39.7	whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple. And that is such a challenging and
1:47.4	convicting statement and it really causes us to have to wrestle with the question,
1:53.8	what does it mean to forsake everything and follow Jesus?
1:57.1	This idea that we can just pray a sinners prayer
