Ep. 5 The Call No One Should Have Answered (Mark 1:16–20)
Update: 2025-09-04
Description
What would make four fishermen drop their nets, walk off the job, and follow a man they just met? In Mark 1:16 –20, Jesus’ call doesn’t come with promises of comfort, but with a summons that redefines their lives: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
In this episode we explore:
- Why Jesus’ authority made seasoned workers leave everything instantly.
- How the first hearers would have felt the shock of this radical call.
- The difference between adding religion to your life and being completely reoriented by Christ’s voice.
- What “fishers of men” meant in their world — and what it still means today.
Mark shows us that discipleship isn’t a hobby or a side-project. It’s a total reordering of life under Jesus’ authority.
