In this brief monologue, the speaker connects a biblical passage that urges believers to "follow me as I follow Christ" with a recollected scene from an older film where a son wishes to follow his father. The father replies, "you can follow me, but I'm going home," highlighting that the weight of following lies not in the follower's capacity to lead but in the significance of the destination. The speaker uses this illustration to argue that discipleship should focus on the ultimate goal of the journey rather than the leader's abilities.

The weight was put on the place they were going.
