The "If Only" Trap: Finding Your Vertical Purpose in Luke 5

from The Practical Bible Study Podcast · host Blowfish Media

"Verily, we often labor in the night and catch nothing, seeking contentment in the things of the earth. In this episode, we examine the word of the Lord in Luke 5:1-11. When Simon Peter saw the multitude of fishes, he marveled at the provision; yet, the Christ called him away from his nets toward a higher calling. Join us as we discuss how Jesus delivers us from horizontal striving—the chasing of 'if only'—and translates us into a vertical purpose. For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, or a net full of fish, and lose his own soul’s calling?"
