Summary

Following Jesus isn’t about comfort— it’s about surrender. In this episode of Deepen, we explore the tension between fear and faith, the cost of truly following Jesus, and what it looks like to trust Him in the middle of life’s storms. Jesus isn’t an add-on to our plans. He is Lord and He calls us to put Him first. Faith doesn’t remove difficulty, but it anchors us in the One who has authority over every storm. When fear leads, we become paralyzed. When faith leads, we move forward with trust, courage, and obedience. No matter what you’re facing, Jesus invites you to follow Him fully, even when it costs everything. 📖 Scripture References:Matthew 8:18–27Matthew 6:25–34Philippians 4:6–7 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Trusting God's Goodness Through Infertility and Miracles - The Calloway's Story• Faith or Fear? - Fear to Faith - Matthew S3E1 • Faith or Fear? - Fear to Faith - Matthew S3E1 (Full Service) • Matthew Season 3 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
