In this episode I'll talk about the true cost of discipleship and the significance of the commitment we make to God to be disciples of Jesus Christ. I'll focus on Luke 14:26, 27, and 33 which deals with a larger context of that commitment and compare what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called cheap grace with costly grace.
