In this episode, Jerrad shares what happened when he said yes to something that seemed simple and ended up with more than he expected. He reflects on a small coaching job that turned into a heavy load and how that experience mirrors the call to follow Jesus. Over time, what starts with excitement often turns into something harder and holier. Jerrad walks through the life of Peter and how Jesus kept asking one question, even when things got tough.
