Description

Why do you think Jesus picked Peter to be the first leader of His church over John, the "beloved disciple"? Paul was a former persecutor of Jesus's followers, while Peter denied Jesus three times, yet God chose them. Father Chuck shares some insights on how we too are called to share our strengths and weaknesses to continue God's work on earth.
