Today’s episode is loaded with goodness and I’m so excited to string biblical pearls together with you yet again. We will learn about Jewish discipleship in Jesus’ world 2,000 years ago. What did it mean to follow a rabbi? What did discipleship look like in that ancient Jewish world? Discipleship was less about simply knowing your rabbi and much more about walking so closely to your rabbi that the dust of his feet got all over you.
We will look at the Hebraic meaning of “shalom” which is much deeper, richer, and more textured than simply meaning “peace”. How does one experience shalom? By walking the path of the Living God. Shalom is found on the path. Chaos is experienced when we get off the path.
Today we will look at one of the most famous and most familiar passages in the New Testament but we will look at it through the Middle Eastern lens. It’s another water story, yet different from any of the pearls in our previous episodes. Today we will cover the story of Peter walking on water, and we are getting ready to learn that he is the only disciple who got it right in that moment.
