075: The Secret to Astonishing Faith: Surviving Your Sea of Galilee

Ever felt yourself sinking? St. Peter certainly did when after he briefly walked toward our Lord on the surging waves of the Sea of Galilee. And you have to hand it to Peter. He jumped out of the boat during a raging storm. All because Christ said, "Come." That's exactly what Jesus says to us every day…"Come." No matter what storm is raging in your life, you can walk over the crashing waves toward our loving Lord. That's not pious sentiment for a Hallmark card or an "inspirational" cubicle poster featuring cats. There's something in that passage most people totally miss that raises the whole story on a different level. Christ literally says, "Take heart, it is I: have no fear." These words are far more than mere encouragement. In this brief episode I recorded in Jerusalem, I'll tell you why Jesus' word's to the Disciples can totally change the way you view every struggle in your life. They're the secret to astonishing faith. God bless! Matthew P.S. If you liked this episode, you might like: 019: The Kenosis of Christ As Model for Us...What? P.S.
