Peter: The Unexpected Call to Leadership

The story of Peter is a remarkable one, not because Peter was a unique, perfect, gifted, or competent leader, but rather quite the opposite. Peter followed Jesus and was obedient to the Spirits direction for both himself and the early church that he led. God equipped Peter with the wisdom and discernment that he needed to lay the foundations of the Church, along with the other Apostles. God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called who step forward in faith and obedience.
