Meaningful change never happens overnight – it’s a journey. It’s also not a straight line. There are often moments of confusion, elation, missteps, and victories.

Introduction
2 Corinthians 5:17
Simon was a partner in a family-owned fishing business. Everything changed, though, when Jesus invited him to join His team. Jesus gave him a new name, Peter, and as we follow his life in the Bible, we see him transform from a man often driven by his emotion and passion to a leader with great wisdom, courage and conviction. Peter’s life is an example for us all of the way God invites us as we are and then begins changes in us that allow us to discover potential we would have never imagined.

In the coming weeks, we’ll see how true this was for one well-known figure in the Bible. But first, let’s celebrate the changed hearts of some of our own New Hope family.
