What does Jesus mean when he says that you have to hate your family in order to follow Him?

What does it mean to “bear your cross” as you follow Jesus in discipleship?

What is the cost of following Jesus?

What are some things in your life that you are tempted to prioritize ahead of God and the gospel?

Are there areas where the Christian life is more difficult than you anticipated that it would be? If so, where? What would it look like to be faithful in those areas?

How should the cost of following Jesus inform how we live our lives? How should it inform how we interact with one another? How should it inform how we interact with non-Christians?
