In Matthew 18:8–9, Jesus makes one of His most shocking statements: “If your hand or foot causes you to stumble, cut it off.” It’s not hyperbole—it’s holy urgency. He’s showing us that sin isn’t something to manage; it’s something to eliminate.
In this episode, we dive into what Jesus really meant—and why radical obedience is the only path to real freedom. This isn’t about self-harm. It’s about self-denial. It’s about choosing to lose what’s temporary so you don’t lose what’s eternal.
We’ll talk about:
- The difference between remorse and repentance
- Why partial obedience keeps you stuck
- What it means to “cut off” sin in modern life—relationships, habits, influences, or comfort zones
- How surrender opens the door to healing, purpose, and peace
Sometimes following Jesus means walking away from what once felt essential. But when you do, you’ll find the freedom your soul’s been craving.
Better to lose what’s holding you back than to lose the One who’s calling you forward.
