  • Summary

  • In this episode of the New Hope Church podcast, we continue our series titled "Hero's Journey," led by Pastor Randy Spacht. Pastor Randy explores the theme of responding to God's call, focusing on the biblical figure of Peter. He discusses how Peter, like many of us, initially hesitated to accept his calling due to feelings of inadequacy.

    Pastor Randy references Jessie Cruickshank's insights on ordinary discipleship, emphasizing that many heroes of faith, including Peter, often refuse the call at first. He recounts the moments when Jesus first called Peter, highlighting the significance of Peter's name change from Simon to Peter, symbolizing his transformation.

    The episode delves into the various instances where Peter followed Jesus but later returned to his old life as a fisherman, illustrating the struggle between our past identities and our call to discipleship. Randy emphasizes that Jesus's persistent calls ultimately led Peter to fully embrace his role as a disciple and leader.

    We hope you find inspiration in this message and feel empowered to answer your own call to discipleship.
