Join host Lance Smith in this intriguing episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, where we delve into what seems like a contradiction between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John regarding the timeline of events surrounding the calling of Peter and Andrew versus the imprisonment of John the Baptist.

This episode explores these scriptural accounts, examining them closely to uncover the layered truths they hold, and discusses how these accounts can be harmonized to present a cohesive narrative of Jesus' call to his disciples.

We consider how initial introductions to Jesus and gradual commitments illustrate his gentle approach to discipleship, offering insights into our personal journey of faith. Reflection on these foundational moments challenges us to assess our own readiness to fully commit to following him.

Tune in to ponder these spiritual insights and explore your own relationship with Jesus.
