In this episode of Chasing Assurance, Terry Peer and Dr. Terry Peer continue their series on the apostles by diving deep into the life of the Apostle John. John is often remembered as “the Apostle of Love”—but that’s only part of the story. Early on, John was bold, fiery, impulsive, and ambitious. Known as a “Son of Thunder,” he wanted power, position, and even judgment on those who rejected Jesus. So how did Jesus transform this hot-headed young fisherman into the disciple closest to Him—trusted with caring for His mother, first to see the empty tomb, and later the author of five New Testament books? This episode walks through John’s entire journey: His early exposure to John the Baptist His front-row seat to Jesus’ miracles and ministry His rebukes, corrections, and growth His closeness to Jesus at the Last Supper, the Cross, and the Resurrection His exile to Patmos and final message: “Children, love one another” John’s story reminds us that Jesus doesn’t call the qualified—He qualifies the called, shaping ordinary people into faithful kingdom servants over time. 📘 Study Guide Available: Click the link in the description to download the Episode 33 study guide for personal devotion or small group use. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/guqrmkss1jeqqadupo0cw/Study-Guide-Chasing-Assurance-33.pdf?rlkey=80kym9k8zmt7g2ymp1q5fir4o&dl=0 DISCLAIMER: The views and discussions expressed in this podcast are for educational and faith-based purposes only.
