Description: Christ's resurrection gives us a new identity that frees us from returning to old ways. The story of Peter in John 21 shows how even devoted followers can revert to past behaviors during times of uncertainty.• Peter's declaration "I'm going fishing" was not a casual hobby but a return to his pre-disciple identity• Before following Jesus, Peter had been rejected from rabbi school and told to learn his father's fishing trade• Returning to old ways during crisis is like a healed person choosing to lie back down on their mat• We don't have to do what we used to do because we're not the person we used to be• Even the disciples closest to Jesus struggled with knowing what to do after the resurrection• God uses imperfect people like Peter to accomplish extraordinary things• The Holy Spirit gives us power to walk in our new identity rather than reverting to former patternsIf you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.Support the showWant to connect?
