Welcome back to Candid Conversations! After a refreshing sabbatical, Jonathan Youssef returns with a brand-new episode to kick off this new season of Candid, diving into one of the Bible’s most powerful stories of transformation, Simon Peter. Jonathan is joined by author and Candid listener favorite, Dave Hubbard. His new book, “You Are, You Will Become: A Character Study of Simon Peter,” invites readers to discover how God changes hearts and lives from the inside out. This conversation is packed with relatable insights, personal stories, and practical questions for group or individual study.

Are you curious about what made Peter so unique among the disciples? Have you ever wondered why Jesus renamed Simon and what it means to go from “You are” to “You will become”? Jonathan and Dave unpack Peter’s bold faith, failures, and journey toward becoming a true “rock.” They draw on Dave’s compelling, often humorous experiences, illustrating how God uses everyday moments to shape our character just like He did with Peter.

Whether you’re looking for a Bible study resource, small group inspiration, or answers to common questions about Christian transformation, this episode and book will help you become who God created you to be while accepting that you are a work in progress, just like Peter.

Join the conversation as we explore the life lessons, questions, and hope in Simon Peter’s story. This episode is for everyone seeking growth and transformation in faith.
