About this episode

The episode explores the significance of Jesus' question to His disciples about His identity in a dark and challenging context.

Jesus did not ask His disciples what the crowds thought of Him. He made it personal. Who do YOU say that I am? That question was asked in one of the darkest places imaginable, surrounded by pagan shrines and the gates of Hades, and it is still waiting for your answer today. How you answer it shapes how you lead, how you love, and how you live. Take a few minutes this week to sit with that question honestly.
