What if being “close enough” to Jesus isn’t actually enough? In this powerful episode, John and Lisa unpack the sobering parable of the ten virgins—where half were ready for the bridegroom, and half were left in the dark.

Watch now to learn how to cultivate a deep, authentic relationship with Christ—before time runs out.
