In this episode, Kris and Ken tackle one of Jesus' most challenging calls: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me."

What does self-denial actually mean? Is Jesus calling us to misery, or to freedom? And why is this the essential first step of discipleship?

They explore why a disciple is someone who lets Jesus change what they care about—and how surrendering self-rule transforms our priorities, our purpose, and ultimately our mission. Because until self is denied, self still decides what matters.

What happens to a debt when it's forgiven?

In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked lines in the Lord's Prayer: "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Drawing from personal devotion and Paul's teaching on the Body of Christ, we wrestle with a simple but profound truth: debt never simply disappears. Someone always absorbs the cost.

But what about the debts that can't be measured in dollars? What happens when someone steals your peace, damages your reputation, weakens trust, or leaves emotional wounds behind? How do those debts get paid?

We discuss the connection between forgiveness and body life, why unresolved offenses affect more than just the people involved, the difference between restitution and restoration, and why true discipleship requires us to stop justifying our own failures while magnifying the failures of others.

At its core, forgiveness is not simply a matter of obedience. It's a matter of faith. Do we trust that when we release what we're owed, God is able to restore what was lost?

This conversation will challenge the way you think about forgiveness, responsibility, community, and the transforming power of grace.

Generational curses is a phrase many believers have heard, but what does the Bible actually mean? Are repeated struggles, family patterns, and recurring cycles evidence of spiritual bondage, or could we be misunderstanding the battle itself?

In this episode, we explore common misconceptions surrounding generational curses and examine what Scripture says about strongholds, inherited patterns, and the renewing of the mind. We discuss how ways of thinking can become deeply rooted over time, why behaviors are often downstream from beliefs, and why discipleship and Holy Spirit transformation are essential for lasting change.

What if we have spent years fighting symptoms while missing the actual battle?
