Emily Wright preaches “Praise the Mount” as part of our “Wandering Heart” series. In today’s passage (Matthew 16:13-20) Jesus asks the disciples what they believe about him not because he needs validation, but to encourage them to actively engage with their faith and make it personal.
We are encouraged to reflect on our own experiences of Jesus and how our faith fits into our lives. Sharing our faith stories can build understanding and connection with others, even if we don't all believe the same way. Owning your faith and sharing your experience of Jesus with others is important for personal growth and building community.
