We all make mistakes. We all face seasons where we fall short, give up too soon, or lose confidence. But the good news is—God is a God of resets. The story of John Mark reminds us that failure doesn’t have to be the final chapter.

In Acts 13, John Mark abandoned Paul and Barnabas on a missionary journey. Later, in Acts 15, this failure caused a sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas. But the story doesn’t end there—years later, Paul writes in 2 Timothy 4:11 that John Mark has become “helpful to me in ministry.” That’s the power of God’s grace and restoration!
