Failure Isn't Final | John 21

Sep 17, 2025    William Horton

In John 21:15–17, we see Jesus restore Peter after his greatest failure. Peter denied Christ three times, yet Jesus didn’t cancel him—He commissioned him. This passage reminds us that failure is not final unless we let fear and silence take root in our hearts.


Charlie Kirk often reminds us that the battles of our culture and our faith are lost when good people choose to stay quiet. In the same way, our spiritual battles are lost not when we stumble, but when we stop speaking truth and living boldly for Christ.


This message will challenge you to see your failures not as the end of your story, but as the very place where God begins again. The only way we truly fail is if we let fear keep us silent. Like Peter, God is calling us to stand back up, speak boldly, and feed His sheep.
