Your habits are discipling you, whether you notice it or not. What you watch, scroll, replay, and obsess over becomes the “diet” that shapes your thoughts, your tone, and the way you treat people. We start with a simple gut-check: are we feeding on God’s Word or filling our minds with nonstop news, anxiety, and distraction?

From there, we move into John 21 and watch Jesus restore Peter after his denial. The conversation gets beautifully specific as Jesus asks Peter, “Do you love me?” and the meaning deepens through agape love versus phileo love. It’s not a vocabulary lesson for trivia night; it’s a window into grace. Peter can’t claim perfect, self-giving love, but he can tell the truth about what he has, and Jesus still gives him a mission: feed my lambs, tend my sheep, feed my sheep. We talk about what shepherding looks like in real life: teaching Scripture, protecting people from spiritual lies, and building a steady rhythm of Bible study and prayer for lifelong spiritual growth.

Then the tone turns sober as Jesus explains the cost of discipleship and says, “Follow me.” We sit with the hard questions about suffering, sacrifice, and why comparison derails obedience when Peter asks, “What about that man?” The closing lifts our eyes to the bigger story in the Gospel of John: Jesus is fully God and fully man, there’s always more to learn, and he is coming back.
