Influencers, icons, feeds, and the five voices we spend the most time with. The problem is simple. We slowly become like whatever we follow, and most of us never stopped to ask if those things are worthy of our lives. In this Summer of Sermons message, Daron Earlewine walks through Jesus' shortest and most personal invitation, come follow me, and exposes how Western Christianity quietly swapped imitation for information. We turned discipleship into a golden ticket to heaven instead of a daily apprenticeship that actually changes us. The stakes are real. A life built on the wrong foundation looks fine until the floods come. Following Jesus is the difference between a house that stands and a heap of ruins. TAKEAWAYS: \u26a1\ufe0f The word &quot;Christian&quot; appears three times in the New Testament. The word &quot;disciple&quot; appears over two hundred. The goal was never to be a Christian, it was to become like Jesus. \u26a1\ufe0f Your real beliefs are not what you say in public. They show up in where you actually go for wisdom and who you actually follow. \u26a1\ufe0f Following Jesus means being with him, becoming like him, and doing what he did. Information alone never makes anyone look like Jesus.
