Faith Without Surrender is Dead (Josiah Schwab)

What does real faith look like?

In this message, Josiah Schwab explores the relationship between Jonathan and David to reveal a powerful truth: faith begins with surrender, and surrender begins discipleship.

Jonathan was the rightful heir to Israel's throne, yet he willingly laid down his robe, armor, and future before God's anointed king. His story challenges us to ask a difficult question: What am I still holding onto that belongs to Jesus?

Whether you're wrestling with salvation for the first time or learning what it means to follow Christ more deeply, this message reminds us that discipleship isn't a one-time decision—it's a daily surrender.

Key Scriptures:

• 1 Samuel 18:1–4
• 1 Samuel 20:30–33
• Matthew 10:37
• John 3:30

Faith begins in surrender, and surrender begins discipleship.
