    The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 309 views

    As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?
