Somewhere along the way, following Jesus got expensive. There was a book to buy, a side to pick, an enemy to name, a brand to wear.
None of that was ever the assignment.
Strip it back to what He actually said and the list gets short. Feed people. Tell the truth. Stay near the ones who are hurting. Keep your eyes on Him.
That isn't a smaller faith. It's the whole thing, finally unburdened of everything we bolted onto it.
If you're done with the machinery but not with Jesus, there's room here. https://faithoverfactions.com
