In this episode, we walk through several of Jesus' teachings that challenge the way we think about faith, compassion, prayer, and discipleship. From the Good Samaritan to the call to count the cost, these passages remind us that following Jesus is more than knowing the right answers—it's about living a transformed life.

Join us as we discuss what it looks like to love your neighbor, remain persistent in prayer, trust God's timing, and faithfully follow Christ no matter the cost.

What happens when God wants to do something new in your life… but you’re still holding onto old ways of thinking?

In this episode of Courage for Everyday Life, Pastor Veronica and Allie unpack Jesus’ powerful parable of the new wine and new wineskins from Gospel of Matthew 9:16–17.

This conversation dives into heart posture, healing, identity, spiritual growth, and the tension between familiarity and intimacy with God. What happens when your life can no longer contain the new thing God is trying to do? And how do you prepare your heart to carry it well?

If you’ve been feeling stretched, challenged, uncomfortable, or like God is calling you deeper — this episode is for you.
