Courage For Women Podcast | Season 2 Episode 4 | Parables About Following Jesus

In this episode, we walk through several of Jesus' teachings that challenge the way we think about faith, compassion, prayer, and discipleship. From the Good Samaritan to the call to count the cost, these passages remind us that following Jesus is more than knowing the right answers—it's about living a transformed life. Join us as we discuss what it looks like to love your neighbor, remain persistent in prayer, trust God's timing, and faithfully follow Christ no matter the cost.
