Unfollow is the last Sunday conversation in the Follow Me series. There is a significant crossroad that all of Jesus’ followers encountered, a pivot moment that caused a number of them to press the “unfollow” button and leave. Jesus then asked the 12 that were left, “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Peter then responded by saying, “Where shall we go?” Have you been there? When you are at that place where you are contemplating unfollowing due to transition, temptation, and trouble, God wants us to have clarity so we can make the right choice and not have regrets. To hear more this clarity, listen to conversation 8, Unfollow.

Conversation 6: Wanting To Want
June 2, 2019 • Baly Botten
Conversation 6 in the Follow Me series deals with the topic of consumerism and how this affects your following Jesus. Pastor Baly said that consumer-Christianity asks the question, “What’s in it for me?” What the Lord wants us to consider instead is a perspective that is very different, transforming and changing our hearts to be more like His. To hear more about how you can have this in your life, listen to conversation 6, Wanting to Want.

May 12, 2019 • Rev. Monty C. Wright
What’s the Payoff is the third Sunday conversation in the Follow Me series. When Jesus asked His disciples to follow Him, the lesson that He was wanting them to embrace was not to be afraid, even when it is counter-intuitive. Pastor Monty said, “If you follow Jesus in this way, He will lead you to a place where your faith overshadows all of those things and places that cause you fear today.” To hear more, listen to conversation three, What’s the Payoff.
