Friday Fuel: "Step Out, Don’t Sink – Faith in the Storm"

This week on Friday Fuel, we’re diving into one of the boldest faith moments in Scripture — when Peter steps out of the boat and walks on water toward Jesus… until fear sets in.
If you’ve ever felt confident stepping out in faith, only to start sinking under pressure, this episode is for you.
We’ll unpack Matthew 14:28–31, break down the storm Peter faced, and ask a real question:Where is God calling you to step out?
Because sometimes the win isn’t in walking perfectly — it’s in having the courage to get out of the boat.
Grab your coffee, quiet the noise, and lock in.Let’s talk faith, fear, and the God who reaches for you even when you start to sink.
