In this episode, Terry Peer and Terry L. Peer walk through Peter’s journey step by step, highlighting his impulsive faith, public failures, deep restoration, and Spirit-empowered leadership after the resurrection. We explore: - Why Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter (“the rock”) - Peter stepping out of the boat and walking on water - Peter’s bold confession that Jesus is the Christ - His denial of Jesus — and the crushing weight of that moment - The resurrection meeting that changed everything Peter preaching the gospel on Pentecost and opening the Kingdom to Jews and Gentiles His growth into a shepherd of the church amid persecution This episode is a powerful reminder that spiritual growth takes time, failure does not disqualify faith, and Jesus is extraordinarily patient with imperfect people.
