Synopsis

As a young pastor, author Jamie Swalm found himself in such a despondent place that he refused to preach. When his senior pastor asked him why, Jamie replied with this shocking yet honest statement: “Because I have nothing good to say about God.” Like many of us, Jamie was discouraged and disillusioned. When he decided to follow Jesus, he was told God had a wonderful plan for his life. But what he’d experienced was far from wonderful. He’d exchanged wealth for poverty, a dream job for the night-shift, a nice place to live in the suburbs for a run-down apartment across the street from a bar. Jamie began to reexamine what it really means to follow Jesus. What he found is we often ignore or water-down the difficult truth: We are asked to carry our cross, to suffer, to walk a narrow path that most will abandon. Yes, Jesus invites us to follow him, but it’s not a casual invitation. He asks us to first count the heavy cost. In this difficult but real exploration of following Jesus, Jamie explores what it means to bear our cross, why we must do so, and how to endure so we can stay the course and finish our race.
