In this episode, TJ Renfro leads an engaging and honest conversation with Alex Watkins, David Tooley, Keith Christopher, and Lauren Parish as they tackle a question that challenges us all: “What are some excuses you have made or heard in response to the invitation to God’s Kingdom?” With Jeff Reynolds out this week, the group leans into a dynamic discussion filled with personal stories, biblical insight, and moments of vulnerable reflection. Together, they uncover the common barriers that hold us back from stepping into God’s calling—and the grace that meets us there anyway. This episode invites listeners to lay down their excuses and embrace the truth that God equips those He calls.   ---   This episode of The Beyond Sunday Podcast explores the sermon The Great Banquet | Luke 14:15–24.
