3. Luke 9:57-62 (NIV)
57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him,
"I will follow you wherever you go." 58 Jesus replied,
"Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the
Son of Man has no place to lay his head." 59 He said to
another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord,
first let me go and bury my father." 60 Jesus said to him,
"Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and
proclaim the kingdom of God." 61 Still another said, "I will
follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye
to my family." 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand
to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom
of God."

head."

6. 3. DISTRACTION (FOMO)
61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first
