The Brain and Bible Podcast

Sibling rivalry doesn’t always have to lead to conflict—in fact, it can be a powerful force for growth and inspiration. In this episode, we turn to two of the most iconic brothers in the New Testament: Andrew and Simon Peter. While both were deeply devoted followers of Jesus, their personalities, roles, and paths to faith diverged in fascinating ways. How did Andrew feel about his brother's rise to prominence as “the Rock” of the early church? What can their story tell us about ambition, humility, and the unique struggles of growing up in a sibling's shadow?

We explore the lives of these remarkable brothers, the dynamic of rivalry balanced with support, and the ways they navigated their own roles within the early Christian movement. This episode will offer insights into both the challenges and blessings that come with sharing a spiritual journey with a sibling.
