In the Bible, a woman came to Jesus with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it out at His feet in an act of full surrender and worship (Matthew 26:7). Her offering was costly, but her love for Jesus was greater.
At The Alabaster Project, our hope is that as you listen, you’ll be encouraged to draw closer to Jesus and live a life fully surrendered to Him. Through scripture-based conversations, real-life testimonies, and faith-filled encouragement, this podcast is here to help you deepen your relationship with Christ and pour your life out in devotion to Him.

Burn the Ships: No Turning Back in Your Walk with Jesus - Episode 22
What’s holding you back from fully following Jesus? In this episode, we talk about old ship captains burning their ships upon arrival—ensuring there was no turning back. It’s a bold metaphor for the life of faith: sometimes, you have to burn the ships of comfort, fear, or past identities to move forward into the life God is calling you to.
I’m challenging you to take a hard look at the “ships” in your life. What are you still holding onto? What’s keeping you from wholehearted surrender?
If you’re ready to walk in bold obedience, live with intention, and follow Jesus without retreat—this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen now and get inspired to step into deeper faith.
