Week 7 opens with two of the stormiest moments in the Gospels: the disciples crying out 'Do you not care?' and Peter sinking the moment his eyes left Jesus. Steve Corbin walks through the week's theme — that Jesus doesn't just observe our storms, He steps into them — and introduces this week's daily Lectio Divina practice. The weekly practice is simple and embodied: picture yourself in the boat with Jesus during your current storm and pray, 'Jesus, be with me in this.'
