Encounter the urgent, burdened, raw Jesus in this powerful study of Luke 12:49-53. "I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning!" This is not the Jesus of greeting cards—this is a Jesus pressing toward the cross under a heavy burden, longing for His mission to be complete. Then He says something that surprises us: "I have not come to bring peace, but division." This episode explores the cost of following Jesus that we don't talk about enough—not just personal sacrifice but the relational cost when truth divides even the closest families. Learn why Jesus' message has always been divisive, what it means to carry the fire of the Gospel toward someone who might push back, and how the cross made reconciliation possible even through division. Through contemplative meditation and bold witness, carry the fire today. This episode will challenge your comfortable Christianity.
