Peter in many ways is the consummate disciple. We see his triumphs, his failures, and we see his life fully transformed by the love of Jesus. In this teaching we explore the Christian vocation to be with Jesus to be people made holy, shaped in expectant faith, tasting mercy, and ultimately serving the world out of our brokenness and calling.

Can beauty truly save our fractured world? Our latest episode navigates the depths of this profound question, guided by the Gospel of John and the stark realities of a world ensnared by darkness. Amid the chaos, we dissect the enduring symbol of the cross, delving into the paradox of finding beauty within an instrument of death. It's a journey through the shadows, where Jesus Christ's ultimate sacrifice emerges as an unexpected beacon of transformative power, beckoning us to step into the light and acknowledge the arresting beauty that promises redemption.
