THE LINE // Who Do You Deny? | Jarrod Cochran

Jesus never said, “Follow your heart.” In Luke 9:23–27, He said: “Deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Me.” The cross wasn’t a symbol of comfort; it was a death sentence. Following Jesus isn’t about adding Him to your life while staying in control. It’s surrender. It’s dying to pride, selfish ambition, and the version of Christianity that wants a Savior without sacrifice. Our culture says, “Live your truth.” Jesus says, “Die to yourself.” You cannot follow yourself and follow Christ at the same time. Passive, comfortable faith will not survive the days ahead. The question is simple: will you deny yourself—or deny Him?

Mothers Need Men | Jarrod Cochran // Mother's Day 2026

Culture has twisted God’s design for marriage. In Ephesians 5, wives are called to submit, but husbands are called to something even harder: love like Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. This message confronts passive men, selfish leadership, and the lie that biblical masculinity is domination. Adam’s failure in the Garden wasn’t just disobedience—it was silence, passivity, and refusing responsibility. Real leadership looks like Jesus: serving, sacrificing, protecting, and laying down your life. Strong marriages aren’t built on control. They’re built on surrender to Christ.

THE LINE // You Will Answer | Jarrod Cochran

Jesus asks the question that defines your eternity: “Who do you say that I am?” In Luke 9, the disciples knew what others were saying, but Peter had a revelation. Not opinion. Not culture. Truth. This message cuts through surface-level faith. You can be around Jesus, hear sermons, and still miss Him. Curiosity isn’t clarity. This isn’t about a version of Jesus that fits your life. This is about the real Christ—fully God, the only way to salvation. You will answer this question, either now by faith or later by sight. Comment: Who is Jesus to you?

THE LINE // Handful To Harvest | Jarrod Cochran

In Luke 9:10–17, thousands are hungry, and the disciples see limits. Five loaves. Two fish. Not enough. But Jesus doesn’t ask for more. He asks for what they already have. This message confronts our mindset: it’s not about the size of your faith—it’s about whose hands it’s in. We’ve made excuses, built borders, and waited for “more” while the world waits for truth. But Jesus takes what’s surrendered and multiplies it. Stop focusing on what you lack. Start offering what you have.

UNDENIABLE AUTHORITY // Only Believe | Jarrod Cochran

In Luke 8, two desperate stories collide: a dying girl and a suffering woman. One has 12 years to live. The other has suffered for 12 years. Both reach the same place: nothing left but faith. The woman pushes through the crowd and touches Jesus, instantly healed. Jairus watches his daughter die, then hears Jesus say, “Do not fear, only believe.” When everything says it’s over, faith still moves. This message confronts the moment we all face: will we trust what we see, or what God has spoken? Real faith doesn’t deny reality; it trusts a greater authority. The same voice that said “Let there be light” is still speaking. Comment: Where do you need to choose faith over fear right now?
