When We Follow Christ, Our Hearts Become Like His

What if following Jesus wasn’t about proving yourself, but simply learning from Him? In this heartfelt living room conversation with friends Chris, David, and Robert, we explore Jesus’ invitation to “come learn of me” and discover how it changes everything.

So many of us live under the exhausting pressure to earn God’s approval. But Jesus offers a radically different way—one where transformation flows from proximity, not performance. As David shares, “The longer we’re close to Jesus, the more we become like Him, meeker, more gentle, humble, accessible, kind, and loving.”

Chris reminds us that gentleness is not weakness, it’s strength under perfect control. That’s the kind of meekness Jesus models, and it radically shapes how we respond to the broken, the struggling, and even those who hurt us.

We unpack the truth that Jesus’ yoke is “not a weight, but a way.” When we walk with Him, He sets the pace, carries the load, and leads us into the life He designed—one marked by peace and joy, even in hardship.

If you’ve been worn out by religious performance or burdened by guilt, this conversation will breathe fresh hope into your walk with God. Discover how His grace changes the heart in ways rules never can.

In this episode:

 • Why gentleness is strength under control

 • How closeness to Jesus naturally shapes our character

 • The freedom of “come learn” versus “come earn”

 • How Jesus’ yoke sets our direction and carries our load
