What Has It Cost You?

Examining Whether Your Faith Has Ever Actually Been Tested

In this episode of Digging Another Well, we reflect on Paul’s powerful words in 2 Corinthians 11 and ask a question many believers rarely consider honestly:

What has following Christ actually cost you?

Paul’s ministry was marked not by comfort or recognition, but by suffering, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the gospel. His faith was tested repeatedly, and those trials became evidence of its authenticity.

Join us as we discuss:

  • Why suffering was central to Paul’s testimony
  • The difference between comfortable Christianity and costly discipleship
  • How faith is revealed through sacrifice
  • Why genuine conviction often requires difficult choices
  • Questions every believer should ask about the reality of their faith

This is not a call to seek suffering. It is an invitation to honestly examine whether our faith has required anything real from us.

Faith that costs nothing often produces very little.
