Catherine Johnson reframes Jesus’ invitation to “lose your life” not as self-erasure, but as a release from the survival strategies we cling to for safety. Jesus models another way: to live from our deepest values even in the presence of fear and loss—to love what is mortal, hold it fully, and, when the time comes, let it go.

Reflection Questions

  1. What survival strategy has helped protect you in the past but may no longer be serving you in the present?
  2. Where in your life are fear or self-preservation tempting you to act against what you most deeply value?
  3. What might it mean for you right now to practice the movement of loving, holding, and letting go?
