When Jesus called Peter to walk on water, it wasn’t about defying nature—it was about trusting Him fully. Peter stepped out, but fear and doubt made him sink. The other disciples? They stayed in the boat, paralyzed by fear and what-ifs. This message challenges us to stop letting overthinking hold us back. The real miracle isn’t the absence of fear; it’s choosing to trust Jesus despite it. Because in the end, it’s not the boat that keeps you safe—it’s the presence of Jesus. So what’s holding you back? Step out. Fix your focus on Him.
