This is Part 2 of a special 5-part bonus series celebrating one year of Sermons on the Side.

In John chapter 21, Jesus meets the disciples right where they are - out on the water, tired, frustrated, and coming up empty. He offers simple advice: try the other side of the boat. It’s a moment that echoes Peter’s very first encounter with Jesus years earlier, a reminder that the Lord is still pursuing him, still present, and still inviting him forward.

Even after failure. Even after denial.
The offer still stands.

That’s the story we continue unpacking today.

And since it’s our birthday week, we’ve got another simple way to celebrate together.

Tuesday’s challenge: bring a friend to the party.
This week, text one episode link to one person - any episode, to anyone - and simply say, “Hey, this made me think of you.”

That’s how this podcast grows. We don’t run ads or billboards. It’s real people sharing real stories of real encouragement. So if you’ve ever thought, “So-and-so would love this,” consider this your sign.

Thanks for listening, for sharing, and for being part of this community.
Part 3 drops tomorrow.
