DESCRIPTION:
Jesus never promised the mission would be safe — He promised it would be worth it.

In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard unpacks Matthew 10:16–42 — the second great missionary discourse — covering persecution, courage, and the cost of discipleship.

Discover why Jesus sends His apostles as sheep among wolves, what "wise as serpents, innocent as doves" means for Catholics today, and why the Father's watchful care over every sparrow means you are never forgotten.
