The Long, Slow Work of Fishing, Podcast Episode
/Our mission as Christians is not about success and numbers. It’s about following Christ. That’s not usually easy. On the other hand, discipleship promises unexpected abundance, a life of community and communion with God, and witnessing God’s slow but sure reconciling of all things.
For reflection:
When you think about your own faith journey, who’s the one who caught you? Who showed you the face of Christ and invited you to come along on the journey of faith?
Who supports you in your faith today?
Who needs you to catch them and help them into the boat? Who needs a word of hope for you, a truth told, a little support?
If you could envision a church community of abundance and hope, what would look like? What would it take to bring this about?
