#183 - Joby Martin // When Fear Makes You Sink, Jesus Still Reaches

We explore the account in Matthew 14 where Jesus and Peter walk on water, focusing on how our failures don't define us and God's power enables us to fulfill His calling despite our doubts. • Jesus withdraws to pray alone, modeling the importance of solitude with God • Peter steps out in faith when Jesus calls him to walk on water • Peter begins to sink when he focuses on the wind and waves instead of Jesus • Jesus immediately rescues Peter when he cries out "Lord, save me" • Peter's doubt was in himself, not in Jesus • Our failures don't have to define us—Jesus determines our identity • Peter's repeated failures didn't disqualify him from ministry • God's divine power gives us everything we need for what He's called us to do • The empty tomb proves God isn't finished with us despite our past shame If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
