When the headlines are heavy and the world feels overwhelming, it is validating to remember that even Jesus needed to withdraw after receiving bad news. But his retreat in Matthew 4:12–23 was not an escape; it was a strategic move to gather a community that could shine in the "deep darkness" prophesied in Isaiah 9:1–4. Join us as we dismantle the myth of "pole fishing" spirituality and discover why the true Light of the World is found not in individual heroics, but in the collective net of a community willing to drop its expectations and weave its lives together.
