Author Leslie Leyland Fields joins the Discover the Word group from her home on Kodiak Island, Alaska, and shares “Insights from a Fisherwoman about Following Jesus.” In a time when so many are “unfollowing” Jesus and leaving the church, Leslie’s experience in her family’s commercial fishing business provides a helpful perspective about what it meant for those first fishermen disciples to follow Jesus, and what it means for us today.
