    Two weeks ago, the whole chapter looked at when Peter got out of the boat to walk on water with Jesus. As a chapter we looked at how we could get out of the boat and follow Jesus’ call to do something that scares us. Joe and I were talking about what this meant to him and how Jesus was calling Joe to step out of the boat. Joe began reflecting on how he rushed his fraternity to share the gospel; however, he felt like all of his brothers believed in Jesus, because he was choosing to hang out with those that had already been transformed by the gospel. Joe had always prided himself on loving non-Christians, yet he had avoided falling in love with those brothers who truly needed Jesus’ healing. Feeling the calling to step out of the boat, Joe committed to leading a GIG with a non-Christian brother, Billy Bob. Joe had always thought he was trusting the Lord, but as he is beginning to climb out of the boat, Joe is having to rely fully on the Lord.
