Steve Gregg delves deeper into the story of the first disciples of Jesus in this talk. He discusses John the Baptist's prophetic role and his initial skepticism of Jesus as the Messiah, as well as the background and beliefs of the disciples. Gregg notes that the disciples' eventual commitment to following Jesus full-time was a process rather than an immediate conversion, and examines the significance of Jesus' interactions with Nathaniel and Peter.
