What’s the “if only” you keep chasing? Why do we keep believing contentment is just one achievement, relationship, or outcome away? And what if Jesus is calling us into something bigger? In today’s episode, Tanya shares how Luke 5:1–11 shows that when Jesus fills Peter’s empty nets, he’s not just providing a miracle, but calling him from horizontal striving into vertical purpose.
