“When Jesus said in Matthew 4:19, ‘I will make you fishers of men,’ do you picture an individual sitting on the edge of a pier with a rod and reel? Or do you imagine a group of fishermen leaning over the side of a boat, each one holding their part of a large net? More importantly, which kind of fishing came to the disciples’ minds?” - 9 Marks

“When I began my studies at Denver Seminary in 2014, I never imagined working at a gas station after graduation. There is nothing wrong with such work, it’s just that my focus was on serving the local church, and I couldn’t see past that vision. I was certain God had called me to plant a church.” - D. Seabaugh

“While Deuteronomy does not explicitly introduce Christ, it helps readers long for him.” - CToday
