In this message, guest speaker and Shepherd on Call, Barry Pardue reminds us that costly discipleship means facing life’s “rip tides” by positioning ourselves to receive from Jesus through prayer. Looking at the two blind men in Matthew 20, he highlights how Christ meets us in our darkness with compassion, renews our minds and hearts, and strengthens our faith. The big idea is simple: when life pulls you under, trust that Jesus is with you, for you, and able to make a way.
