When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

3 biblical tips to jump-start your management career.
Three things get us anywhere in life: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunity…or not. Using biblical principles, Sam Chand brings our subconscious assumptions into the light to help us become more aware of this process and thus improve our own lives and the lives of those around us.
Explore the setting and significance behind one of Jesus’s most stunning declarations: “I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Spoken in the shadows of shrines and false gods, His words were a response to revelation, not chaos. This three-day journey unpacks how that confession—and Christ’s promise—still dismantle fear, control, and self-rule. Written by Joe Riddle, Founder of Danger Close Consulting.
