The disciples are waiting for Jesus to come back to head to Syria. Phillip leaves John the Baptist to come and follow Jesus. Phillip brings Nathanael to the disciples and he is called by Jesus. The way they portrayed Nathanael’s story was really inspiring, especially after going back and reading the Scripture that inspired it. It was also really good to be reminded of the real humanity of the disciples and be reminded that they struggled to agree. The episode was a beautiful reminder for me t...
