Whether it is physical, mental, emotional, or even spiritual in nature, we all experience the pain and storm of suffering.

In this episode, Drew discusses the incredible responsibility that elders in the Lord’s church have. Peter, among other important roles (husband, apostle, Gospel preacher, etc.), served as an elder. If you are an elder or aspire to be one, I encourage you to carefully consider what is presented. No doubt, elders face many storms; therefore, they are to be constantly lifted up in prayer!

Will w...

In this episode, Drew explains the difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow. After Peter denied Jesus three times, he exhibited true repentance and godly sorrow as he “wept bitterly.” This kind of heart and remorse shown is exactly what God is looking for in our hearts today. Its godly sorrow that leads to salvation (2 Cor. 7:10). When we mess up, are we sorry just because “we get caught...

In this episode. Drew discusses a very low point in the life of Peter. After saying that he was ready to die for Jesus, Peter, when pressured, denied Jesus three times.

Are we following Jesus closely or are we following Him at a distance?  -- Visit our website: www.scatteredabroad.org and remember to subscribe to our emai...

In this episode, Drew breaks down the scene when Peter made the great confession as he recognized Jesus as Lord. When one comes to that conclusion based on concrete evidence (John 20:30-31), it comes at a price.

In this episode, Drew works through Luke’s account of when four fishermen were called as Disciples. After Jesus telling Peter to “launch out into the deep” which was meant literally, but there there was also a metaphorical sense in which Peter was to have faith in Jesus and become a “fisher of men.” Will we be willing to “forsake our nets” and “launch out into the deep?” -- Visit our website: www....

There is no way that he could have known the journey in which he was about to embark, but we have the blessing of tracing his life through the pages of the New Testament.

In this episode, Drew explores Psalm 143. David appeals to God's righteousness and faithfulness as he find himself in the midst of a storm. Though he is overwhelmed, discouraged, and distressed, his trust in God allows him to triumph over the darkness. To those who feel lost in darkness and overcome by trials, this episode is for you. May God bless all who are striving to "weather the storm."

In this episode, Drew opens up and discusses Psalm 142. While this psalm is considered to be a "poem," it also serves as a beautiful prayer offered to God. Though David was isolated, he found solace, comfort, and strength in His God recognizing Him as his Refuge, Portion, Deliverer, and Redeemer. May we come to the same conviction in our effort to "weather the storm."
