Holy Disruption

Has Jesus Stepped Into Your Boat?

Maybe it happened quietly. Maybe you didn’t even notice at first.

But one day, Jesus got into your boat.

No formal invitation. No dramatic entrance. Just presence—sudden and unmistakable. And then, direction. “Put out from the shore,” he said. “Go out into the deep.”

If you’ve felt that nudge—that holy disruption—you’re not alone. Jesus has a way of stepping into our lives unannounced, not to observe from the sidelines, but to lead. To draw us away from the safety of the shore and into the depths where grace does its most transformative work.

The question isn’t whether he’s entered your boat. The question is: Have you noticed? And if you have—will you cooperate with him now that he’s there?

Because once Jesus steps in, everything else becomes commentary. The real decision is whether we’ll follow when he says duc in altum—put out into the deep.

And yes, the deep is more dangerous. More vulnerable. But it’s also more thrilling. Not in the way the world defines excitement, but in the way spiritual transformation feels when it begins to take root. The deep is where healing happens. Where surrender becomes strength. Where grace rewrites the story.

If you sense him in your boat—today, this moment—don’t rush to tidy up. Don’t panic, just listen. And when he says, “Let’s go deeper,” consider it your invitation.

You’re not alone. Many of us are rowing beside you. The water is deeper than we imagined.
But it’s holy and it’s home.
