What happens when obedience doesn’t feel rewarding but wrecks your comfort instead?

In this episode of The Pursuit Podcast, Justin takes you into the raw, soul-stretching side of faith that most people avoid talking about: what to do when saying “yes” to God costs you something real. Maybe it’s a relationship. Maybe it’s your reputation. Maybe it’s your sense of control. True obedience isn’t glamorous. It’s gritty, misunderstood, and often lonely. But it’s also where the deepest transformation happens.

Through Scripture and honest insight, Justin unpacks what it looks like to follow God when it hurts, and how to keep trusting when obedience feels like loss. You’ll learn:

  • Why obedience and comfort will never coexist
  • How to discern when God is calling you out of alignment with the crowd
  • What Scripture reveals about costly obedience (Matthew 16:24–25, Philippians 2:8, 1 Samuel 15:22)
  • How to trust that every unseen “yes” still matters to God

If you’re in a season where obedience feels heavy or confusing, this message will remind you that you’re not being punished. You’re being perfected.

🎧 Listen now to “When Obedience Costs You” and rediscover the peace, power, and purpose that only come through surrender.
