Follow Me

CallingSurrenderPurposeGuidance

A honky-tonk grin with a gut-punch ending: what if the Sermon on the Mount had been a livestream? Seven days on the difference between following Jesus on an app and following Him with your life — likes, loaves, lepers, and the ask He still makes of every follower.

"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Matthew 4:19

A song for the road you're on.

Follow Me

[Verse 1]
Picture the Sermon on the Mount as a livestream
Ring light glowin' on the Galilee shore
"Blessed are the meek — now smash that subscribe button
Link to my merch down below in the info"
Twelve guys followin', but the numbers weren't movin'
Peter said "Lord, the algorithm's cold"
He said "Boys, we're gonna need a content strategy
Somebody film me walkin' on this water in slow-mo"

[Chorus]
Follow Me — hit like and subscribe
Blessed and verified, blue check by His name
Turnin' water into wine on an unboxing video
Sponsored by the vineyard down the lane
Five thousand fed? That's five thousand followers
Every miracle's a viral little clip
He said "Follow Me" — oh, but here's the kicker
...he just meant the app

[Verse 2]
Drive-thru communion, thirty-second gospel
"Skip this ad for the narrow way"
Prayer requests are a poll in his stories
Swipe up to be born again today
Forty days in the desert? Cancelled — no wifi
Carryin' a cross? That's bad for the brand
Grace got bundled in a premium subscription
First month's free, then it's ten bucks a soul

[Chorus]
Follow Me — hit like and subscribe
Blessed and verified, blue check by His name
Doin' collabs with the Pharisees on Friday
'Cause controversy always drives engagement
Five thousand fed? That's five thousand followers
Every miracle's a viral little clip
He said "Follow Me" — oh, but here's the kicker
...terms and conditions may apply

[Bridge]
But the real thing never chased a single number
He touched the ones the crowd had swiped away
No filter on the cross, no way to skip it
And He never once went live — He just came to stay
The truth ain't convenient, it ain't monetized
It don't fit in fifteen seconds on your phone
But three days in a grave, it rolled away the stone

[Final Chorus]
Follow Me — but leave your nets behind you
No blue check, just nail scars in His hands
Ain't no algorithm gonna love you like He does
And His follower count was twelve rough workin' men
He told the rich young ruler, "Go sell everything"
That's the ask He makes of every follower's life
He said "Follow Me" — and buddy, that's the whole thing
...take up your cross daily, and follow Me
