S3 Episode 12: Come Follow Me

In this episode of Unveiled, Krista Anderson invites listeners into a personal and heartfelt reflection on what it really means to be an apprentice of Jesus. Whether you're tuning in for the first time or you've been on this journey for a while, Krista brings a gentle, relatable tone as she unpacks the idea—originally inspired by theologian Dallas Willard—that being a follower of Jesus is much like being an apprentice: someone who learns by walking closely with their teacher.

Krista shares a story from early in her marriage, just after having her first son. She and her husband had the rare opportunity to get away for a work trip—a much-needed break filled with rest, nourishing food, and actual adult conversation (something any new parent can appreciate!). The trip itself became a backdrop for a bigger reflection on how God meets us in our everyday moments, especially the ones where we're trying to catch our breath and find connection again.

During that trip, Krista and her husband met a couple from New York and immediately clicked. Their lunch turned into long, leisurely conversations and a spontaneous plan to reconnect later that evening. It’s a simple story, but one that highlights the beauty of slowing down, being present, and staying open to the unexpected ways God weaves people and moments into our lives.

Through it all, Krista keeps circling back to the question: what does it look like to follow Jesus not just in belief, but in practice—like a true apprentice? It's not about being perfect or having all the answers, but about being willing to learn, stay close, and keep saying yes, even in the ordinary, everyday moments. This episode is a quiet encouragement to live out faith with intention, wherever you are and whatever season you’re in.
