IS JESUS WORTH THIS TO YOU?
"Do you believe that Jesus is worth abandoning everything for? Do you believe him enough to obey him and to follow him wherever he leads, even when the crowds in our culture--maybe even our churches--turn the other way?"
In Radical, David Platt invites you to encounter what Jesus actually said about being his disciple, and then obey what you have heard.

Then he proposes a radical response: live the gospel in ways that are true, filled with promise, and ultimately world changing.
