We press into C.S. Lewis’s famous trilemma and the claim of Jesus in John 10, challenging the safe label of “great moral teacher.” The call is simple and costly: if Jesus is Lord, stake your life on him. • why “great moral teacher” fails when weighed against Jesus’ claims • liar, lunatic, or Lord as the only coherent options • John 10 and the unity of the Son with the Father • why the crowd reached for stones and what that means • abundant life defined as union with the Father, not prosperity • moving from admiration to allegiance Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review Support the show Want to connect?
