“Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
With these words, Jesus forever changed the life of a young fisherman named Simon. We know him better as Peter, one of Jesus' closest companions, the leader of Jesus' band of disciples and one of the most influential characters in the early decades of the life of the Church.
What happened to young, brash fisherman named Simon that turned him into a wise, faithful leader? Was his journey simple and uncomplicated or difficult and complex? Was it smooth sailing or rough seas? Was it straight or winding? Was it full of joy and success or failure and disappointment? Was it a combination of all these things?
Join us as we look at the life of Peter - the Rock - and as we discover what it means to follow Jesus.
