Breakfast on a beach, a crackling charcoal fire, and a net so full it should have snapped—that’s where the story of failure turns into a story of calling. We open John 21 and trace how Jesus restores Peter with precision and tenderness, stitching together memory, miracle, and mission until shame gives way to purpose.

We start with the miraculous catch and why it matters that Jesus repeats Peter’s origin story. From the smell of charcoal echoing his denial to the bread and fish recalling the feeding of the five thousand, every detail carries meaning. Then we slow down over the three questions: “Do you love me?” Whether you lean into the agape versus phileo debate or treat the terms as fluid, the effect is clear—Jesus meets Peter where he is and reassigns him to shepherd God’s people. Along the way, we tackle the mysterious 153 fish, the resilience of the unbroken net, and what that abundance says about the church’s mission.

We also face the cost of discipleship without flinching. Jesus hints at Peter’s death and then repeats the same simple command: “Follow me.” That line reframes everything—restoration is not retreat; it’s deployment. We talk perseverance and the preservation of the saints, the danger of drifting back to old nets, and the everyday habit of asking “What about him?” instead of “What are you calling me to do?” Expect honest application: feed the sheep, stop comparing, obey in the small things, and trust the One who provides.

If you’ve been carrying regret or stalling on a call, this conversation is a hand on your shoulder and a path back to work. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—where is Jesus telling you to cast your net today?
