IT'S NOT COMPLICATEDIn this episode of It’s Not Complicated, we explore how Gospel of Luke 5:1–11 and Gospel of John 21:1–14 share the powerful story of a miraculous catch of fish in two different seasons of the disciples’ lives. One marks the moment Jesus first calls them to
follow him, and the other happens after the resurrection as he restores and recommissions them. Both moments show that Jesus meets us in our ordinary routines and calls us into greater purpose. When we trust his voice, he fills our nets and transforms our lives. |
