ACTIVATE - Week 4

At one point or another all of us have asked ourselves, “Am I cut out for this?” Maybe you felt it in college or as you became a new parent or as you changed careers. Feelings of uncertainty like these can also be felt in our faith. In fact, maybe you don’t even feel like you’re cut out for this whole Christian thing. But why do we feel this way? Why do we assume that a real, active faith is out of reach for us? Believe it or not, Peter—the very same spiritual giant we’ve been talking about for weeks— probably felt the exact same way. God called him to some pretty big things, and it seemed like he might not have what it takes to do them. But then Peter had an encounter that changed the way he viewed not only himself, but also the God who called him. It was an encounter that activated a new understanding of faith. And as we look back one more time at Peter, we’ll see that this same life-changing, faith-building encounter is waiting for us, too.
