Interview Series: You Will Be Peter: How the Flaws of a Fisherman Speak to Us All with Jerry Lathan and Steven Manchester
In this episode of the Ordinary Discipleship Podcast, Jessie Cruickshank talks with Jerry Lathan and Steven Manchester about their new book You Will Be Peter.

You’ll hear:
- Why Peter’s failures matter
- How storytelling makes Scripture come alive
- The power of emotional honesty in discipleship
- What it means to become who Jesus says you will be
