My fishing skills as a child with my dad and grandfather were much different from those I developed as a young adult out on the Gulf. But those early experiences were necessary building blocks. The story of Jesus is not just a story of the past. We are who we are today because of our successes—and, perhaps more importantly, our failures. In those moments of failure, we often discover liberating grace. That grace propels us toward healing and wholeness—and into the kind of leadership and service Jesus calls us to join. How is Jesus calling you in your particular way to be with and to feed his sheep?
