    Sacred Cows Make the Best Hamburger

    Jesus pronounced woes on cities that witnessed His power but refused to repent. In this episode of Pursuing Jesus, a conversation about Matthew 11 opens into a deeper exploration of sacred cows in the church: traditions, preferences, and good things that can take the place of obedience to God's best. We'll discuss how to confront misplaced priorities with grace, why methods can change while truth remains, and what it looks like to pursue Jesus above comfort, nostalgia, or control.
