Followers Lead Courageously

About this episode

This episode explores the transformation of Peter and John from fearful followers to courageous leaders, highlighting the concept of Post-Traumatic Growth.

We all have days that break us, from minor mishaps (like a disastrous zoo trip) to deep trauma. But what if those struggles didn't leave us broken? This message explores the incredible transformation of Peter and John, who went from hiding and denying Jesus after his crucifixion to becoming bold, unafraid leaders. Discover how their story, and the modern concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), shows that when we stop trying to control our lives and rely on the power and presence in the name of Jesus Christ, we can emerge from trial stronger, more resilient, and more courageous than ever before. fmhouston.com
