Thanks for checking out my new podcast Footnotes and Witness. This episode is the intro that explains what this is all about. Also, this is the start a series studying the apostles/disciples of Jesus Christ. By looking at who Jesus chose to have in His crew, we learn characteristics about Jesus. When we see Jesus rightly, we can more easily see Him in our own lives.

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen
