About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of surrendering to follow Jesus, using Peter's encounter as a key example.
You cannot fully follow Jesus while still clinging to the very things He’s asking you to leave behind. In this message, we follow Peter’s encounter with Jesus and see what real faith looks like—not full understanding, but enough trust to obey. When Jesus calls Peter to step out, it requires more than a moment of belief—it requires surrender. For Peter, dropping his nets meant leaving behind his security, identity, and everything familiar. And the same is true for us. Following Jesus will always involve letting go—of control, approval, fear, old identities, and anything we keep reaching for instead of Him. This message challenges us with a simple but personal question: What are your nets? Because at some point, following Jesus isn’t about learning more—it’s about letting go.
