What did Jesus say when he attracted a large crowd? He said things that drove most of the people away.

Why? Jesus didn’t want fans; he wanted followers. And being a real follower is tough. It takes discipline.

Host Chris Bolinger presents a famous example of the value of discipline and explains why discipline in your life is even more important.

This week’s Bible passage: Proverbs 3:1-12
