In John 16:1-4, Jesus speaks directly to the cost of discipleship, warning his followers that their faithfulness to him will bring opposition—even to the point of persecution. He makes it clear that this isn’t about seeking conflict but about standing firm when it comes. Clint and Michael explore how these words resonated with the early church, where following Christ was truly a life-and-death decision, and what they mean for believers today. How do we balance gratitude for our religious freedom with awareness of those who still suffer for their faith? Join the conversation as we reflect on the challenges and blessings of being faithful disciples.
