As we approach Jerusalem, tensions are rising, and Peter is deeply troubled. Events are unfolding differently than expected. And when we hear the phrase "die to self," it's challenging, especially for someone like Peter who has already made significant sacrifices. Fortunately, "die to self" doesn't mean a physical death. Instead, it's about prioritizing the greater good over our personal desires. It involves embracing Jesus' teachings and living in a way that reflects his values, not just professing belief. Join Project Zion Podcast co-hosts Karin and Blake as they delve into this crucial conversation between Jesus and Peter, exploring its profound implications.
