LOCKED-IN: The Gospels S3E3 || Luke 5:1–11 || Sergio Fesiuk

In this episode, we explore one of the most defining moments in the Gospels—when Jesus interrupted the ordinary workday of four fishermen and issued a call that demanded repentance, surrender, and a completely new direction. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all tell the story, but each reveals a different layer of Jesus’ call: the command, the promise, the miracle, and the heart-level response.

Matthew and Mark give us the clean invitation: “Follow Me.”

Luke gives us the collapse, the awe, and the repentance: “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

This episode breaks open the full pattern of calling:

Jesus steps into your ordinary.

Jesus reveals who He really is.

Jesus calls for repentance, release, and reorientation.

Jesus forms you into who you could never become on your own.

We unpack the depth of the Greek word akoloutheo, why Jesus calls us to attach our whole lives to His steps, and how “I will make you” is a promise of formation, not pressure. We explore why Peter’s first move was not celebration but repentance, and how true calling always requires letting go of nets, stories, and identities we’ve carried too long.

You’ll hear how God uses the workplace, not the synagogue, to initiate destiny; why most of God’s greatest callings begin in the grind of the everyday; and why following Jesus immediately demands courage, direction, and obedience.

If you’re ready to understand what it really means to be “locked-in” with Jesus—locked-in direction, identity, purpose, obedience, and courage—this episode will speak directly to your heart.

The question this episode leaves you with is simple but life-altering:

What net is still in your hands, and what is Jesus calling you to leave behind so you can step into the deep water with Him?
