Following Jesus will cost you everything — but with the power of the Holy Spirit, it will give you the peace you’ve been searching for. In this message, Christine Caine unpacks Jesus’ radical call to discipleship in Mark 8, confronting a self-focused, image-driven culture with a countercultural invitation: deny yourself, listen to the Holy Spirit, take up your cross, and follow Him — fully and wholeheartedly.

Jesus never asked for part of our lives. He calls us to an ALL IN faith — one where surrender leads to freedom, obedience leads to joy, and losing your life for His sake is the only way to truly find it.

🙏🏽 In this episode, you’ll gain clarity on:

• Why denying yourself isn’t self-hatred — and how it actually leads to real, abundant life

• What “taking up your cross” looks like in everyday decisions and relationships

• How surrendering control opens the door to deeper joy, purpose, and spiritual freedom

🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to follow Jesus with courage, conviction, and trust.
