Surf evangelist and Walking on Water founder, Bryan Jennings, reminds us that Jesus has called us to give up everything! Only when we lose our life, will we truly find it. Although we see unclearly now, we will see perfectly clear in eternity, so let’s live by faith and not by sight.

The Bible commands us to be disciples and make disciples. But discipleship is costly… it costs everything! Are you going and making or staying and taking? Let’s not be consumer Christians. Let’s be true disciples who say, “Jesus paid it all and I am willing to give all in return.”
