Life is full of choices, but Jesus said there are only two paths that matter—one broad and easy, the other narrow and less traveled. In this episode of The Jesus Effect, host Steve McLane unpacks Jesus’ words from Matthew 7:13–14 about the wide road that leads to destruction and the narrow road that leads to life.

Discover the difference between following the crowd and following Christ, why the narrow way is worth it, and how you can choose today to walk the path that leads to eternal life.

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or looking for encouragement to stay on course, this episode is a powerful reminder: when you encounter Him—you experience change.

Have you ever felt like you’ve messed up too badly for God to use you again? Like your failure disqualified you from His grace?

In this episode of The Jesus Effect, host Steve McLane shares a powerful, hope-filled message for anyone struggling with shame, regret, or the weight of past mistakes. Drawing from the story of Peter’s denial and restoration, Steve reminds us that failure isn’t final — not when grace is involved.

Discover how God’s forgiveness doesn’t just cover your past — it redeems it and restores your purpose. You’ll be encouraged to receive His mercy, walk in His favor, and believe that you're still chosen.

Because grace doesn’t ignore your failure — it writes a better ending.
