Passion City Church DC Podcast

What does a life well lived actually look like?
We spend much of our lives chasing the things we think will make them meaningful—success, security, relationships, influence, experiences. But what if a life well lived is measured by something entirely different?
In Acts 20–21, Paul is moving toward a future filled with uncertainty and suffering, yet he refuses to shrink back from where God is leading him. In this message, Pastor Ben Stuart shows us what Paul’s journey reveals about the kind of life worth giving ourselves to and challenges us to consider whether we’re simply building a good life or spending it on the things that matters most.

What does faithful Christian leadership look like, and how do we live a life worth following? In Acts 20, the Apostle Paul gathers the leaders of the church in Ephesus and gives them a final charge before continuing toward Jerusalem.
In this message, Pastor Ben Stuart walks through Paul’s example of integrity, courage, purpose, and dependence on the grace of God. Paul reminds us that truly following Jesus means more than just knowing the right things. It means demonstrating the message with our lives, declaring the truth, protecting the people God has entrusted to us, and giving ourselves to a mission bigger than ourselves.
In a world that often tells us to prioritize comfort and self-preservation, Paul offers another way: know what is worth living for, trust God even when you don’t know what comes next, and run the course He has given you.

What does it actually cost to follow Jesus, and what does He ask of those who claim to? How do we move past treating Him as just a fascinating spiritual figure and instead build a life fully surrendered to Him? And what does it look like to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him every single day?
In this message, Jacob Harkey teaches from Luke 9, where Jesus turns to His disciples in the middle of His most popular moment and asks the question that still confronts us today: “Who do you say that I am?” Peter’s answer changes everything because what you believe about Jesus determines how you respond to Him.
Whether you’re wrestling with who Jesus really is or what it means to actually follow Him rather than just admire Him from a distance, Luke 9 offers a clear and costly vision: deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Him.
