In this powerful and inspiring message delivered at iPD Agency in Tampa, Florida, Mat Koenig dives deep into the miracle of Jesus choosing broken people—those rejected by other rabbis—and empowering them to do the impossible.

Mat focuses on the incredible story of Peter walking on water in the Gospel of Matthew. He reveals the profound truth that Jesus knew Peter could walk on water because a Rabbi only chose followers who could do what he could do. This message is a reminder that God made you with a purpose, and Jesus chose you because He sees your potential, not your brokenness.

Join us as Mat shares:

• The significance of Jesus choosing those whom society deemed unworthy.

• The powerful lesson of Peter walking on water and what it means for you.

• How Jesus believes in your ability to do great things and change lives.

• A call to embrace your story and let Jesus work miracles through you.
