Following Jesus isn’t about adding a little Christianity to your existing life so you can become a slightly better version of yourself. Jesus calls us to something far more radical: becoming a new creation.

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve explores the difference between biblical salvation and simple self-improvement. Prompted by a recent conversation involving sports personality Pat McAfee and a street preacher, Steve asks an important question: Are we looking to Jesus merely to make our lives better, or are we willing to surrender our old lives completely and follow Him?

Steve also takes a look at the new trailer for Season 6 of The Chosen as the series moves into the Passion Week and the crucifixion of Jesus. He discusses the creative liberties taken by the series, why Christians may have different convictions about watching it, and how The Chosen has helped viewers consider the relationships between Jesus and His disciples from perspectives they may never have considered before.

Later, Steve tackles several stories from the Christian world, including questions about the “Christian industry,” accountability following the Michael Tait controversy, Chuck Swindoll’s thoughts about the final sermon he would want to preach, and Jen Hatmaker’s rejection of a literal hell.

Plus, Steve continues Faith Between Our Ears with Proverbs 9:10—“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom”—and examines the fascinating meaning of the Hebrew word “ezer” in Genesis 2:18 and what it tells us about the biblical role and value of women.
