A short YouTube conversation led by Rylee Meek reflecting on whether Christians are willing to be martyrs and what that willingness reveals about Jesus' lordship in a believer's life. The speakers link martyrdom and testimony to the daily call to "die to self" and repeatedly invoke Jesus' call to "count the cost." The clip also contrasts being "born once" (physical birth) with being "born again" (spiritual rebirth) and the eternal consequences of spiritual death if one is not born again.

Which begs the question, like, internally, I'm like, man, am I. Are we all martyrs, right? If that. We're willing to give testimony. We're willing to be a witness of Jesus Christ, but are we a witness to the point of dying for our faith the way that I believe Charlie actually did? And I think that's a question of lordship in your life. I know I've hit this even on the past couple of weeks, times we've had together. Of like, is Jesus really truly Lord of your life? Are you willing to. To die? And it even brings to mind, like, we are called to die to ourselves every day, right? Like, to. To pick up that cross and. And Jesus says to. To count the cost, right? Like he says, count the cost, right? And are you willing to. To pick up that cross daily and. And actually follow him?
But if we're born only once, we're going to die twice. What does that mean? If we come out of the womb, we're born once, and if we're not born again by the spirit, we're going to die twice. We're going to die a physical death and a spiritual death, and we're going to be eternally separated from God. But if we're born twice, meaning we're born out of our mother's.
