About this episode
What happens when the real Jesus doesn’t align with what you want? In Part 2 of The Authentic Jesus series, Pastor Doug takes a deeper look at the tension between the Jesus we prefer and the Jesus revealed in Scripture.
The authentic Jesus challenges, corrects, and calls us to surrender—not control. He isn’t shaped by culture, comfort, or personal opinion. Instead, He calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him fully.
This sermon will push you to examine whether you’re truly following Jesus as He is—or a version of Him that feels easier to accept.
