True faith doesn’t happen in an instant. At least it didn’t for Peter…or James or John (Jesus’s innermost circle)! Honest faith is a process that unfolds over a lifetime, and contains elements of wonder, doubt, confusion, awe, more confusion, agony, guilt, healing… This up-and-down, in-and-out journey is the authentic process of transformation (sanctification), and is the message we are to proclaim to the world.
In this episode we look Jesus’s calling of his first disciples and the manner in which their life of faith began. It’s a lesson in the realities of the Christian life and the gospel to which every disciple bears witness.
