The Real Cost of Following Jesus // The Hard Truth About Discipleship & Why We Miss the Real Gospel

About this sermon

Connect with Dr. Manny Arango: https://www.mannyarango.com/ In today’s episode, I sit down with an extraordinary leader, Dr. Manny, to explore the powerful and often difficult journey of discipleship. From overcoming life’s toughest struggles to embracing the call of God, Dr. Manny shares his personal story that will inspire you to see the grace of God in a whole new light. We talk about the real challenges of walking with Jesus, the disorienting process of finding purpose, and how embracing discomfort can ultimately bring us closer to the Kingdom of God. Dr. Manny doesn’t just talk about faith—he lives it. From his unique background to becoming the first in his family to receive a doctorate, his journey reveals how faith intersects with purpose and healing. We dive deep into what it means to truly follow Jesus, not just as Savior, but as King. This conversation is a powerful reminder that God doesn’t just want to rescue us from our troubles but to empower us to live a life of faith, transformation, and obedience to His will. Throughout this conversation, we also reflect on the often-overlooked aspects of discipleship. It’s not just about attending church or praying a prayer—it’s about living life with someone who has the character of Christ and allowing that person to shape you. Dr. Manny gives us a fresh perspective on the true meaning of the Gospel and what it means to be a disciple. If you’re seeking deeper faith and purpose, this conversation will speak directly to your heart. 10 Timestamps with Titles: 00:00 - The Power of Discipleship: Following Jesus’ Example 01:10 - Overcoming Pain: How God Transformed My Life and Purpose 02:50 - Discomfort and Challenge: The Journey of Healing and Purpose 05:00 - Biblical Discipleship: A Life of Responsibility and Obedience 06:40 - Moses and Leadership: Fighting External and Internal Battles 08:15 - The King Jesus Gospel: What the Early Church Understood 11:30 - Faith and Allegiance: Understanding Jesus as Lord and Savior 13:10 - Discipleship in Action: Doing Life Together and Shaping Character ============================================== Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertrstearns/ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertrstearns/ Don't forget to PUSH THE BELL to get NOTIFICATIONS of new and upcoming videos.
