THE CROOK & THE BOOK PODCAST EPISODE 25 - Sermon review - Mark 10:17-31

In this week’s episode, the hosts unpack Pastor Jeremy’s recent sermon on the Rich Young Ruler, highlighting its central message: the call to self-denial in following Christ. They delve into the spiritual dangers of wealth and comfort, discussing how these can foster self-reliance or even self-righteousness. Regardless of one’s financial situation, believers are reminded of the need to depend wholly on God. The conversation also explores the importance of stewarding wealth wisely in order to practice generosity toward the church and other ministries. The episode wraps up with a reflection on how focusing on Jesus makes our sacrifices more bearable—and, as always, ends with a fun, unexpected question for the hosts.
