Every day, students are told to follow. “Follow directions.” “Follow your heart.” “Follow for more content!” From parents, to teachers, to influencers, to giant corporations, it seems like everyone is vying for their time and attention. And as students follow more things, their attention is diluted, their commitment watered down, and their hearts fractured. “Following” has become an easy, thoughtless practice, requiring little more than the click of a button.

But long before we all tracked our own number of followers, Jesus offered a simple invitation to a group of fishermen: “Follow me.” And while they had a lot to learn, they understood that following this Jesus would change their lives forever.

This year at the ONE Conference, join us as we trace the life of Peter and see what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We’ll see his first steps as a follower, the wrong turns he makes, and how he finds his way back to Jesus, all while considering what it looks like for us to be followers of Jesus today.
