In this episode, Brittany and Sara discuss what was settled at the cross by Jesus. They use scripture to declare the identity you now have as a Christian because of the exchange that happened at the cross. We became the righteousness of God, and He, who knew no sin, became sin for us. With this new identity, what authority do we have as Christians? Jump in with us, and s to walk as sons and daughters of God!

In this episode, we move from the joy of God’s open invitation to the sobering reality of discipleship. After telling the Parable of the Great Banquet, Jesus shifts the conversation from being invited to what it actually means to follow Him.

This passage is bold, uncomfortable, and deeply clarifying. Jesus refuses half-hearted followers. He calls us to examine our loyalties, our priorities, and the sacrifices we’re actually willing to make for the sake of the Kingdom.

We’ll unpack:
✨ Why Jesus uses extreme language like “hate” to describe the level of devotion He requires
✨ What “carrying your cross” meant in the first century—and what it means for us now
✨ What the two parables (the builder and the king) teach us
✨ Why discipleship is impossible without surrender
✨ What Jesus means when He warns that “salt that loses its flavor is worthless”

Jesus offers life, purpose, and belonging—but He also demands everything.

During this episode, Sara and Brittany go through the first half of Luke chapter 14. They discuss some tips given by The Bible Project on how to read and interpret parables and common types of parables.

They explore one of Jesus’ most surprising dinner party moments. What begins as a tense Sabbath meal with Pharisees quickly becomes a powerful lesson on humility, hospitality, and God’s upside-down Kingdom.

Jesus challenges social norms, exposes hidden pride, and tells a parable that flips the script on who gets invited to God’s feast. The Great Banquet isn’t about status, titles, or appearances. It’s about responding to the invitation when it comes.

We’ll unpack:
✨ Why Jesus healed on the Sabbath in front of His critics
✨ What true humility looks like at God’s table
✨ How the Great Banquet reveals God’s heart for the overlooked
✨ What this passage calls us to do in our modern world

A challenging and hope-filled message reminding us: Everyone is invited, but not everyone says yes.

Sara ends with a challenge to go and read Romans 11:11-25
