Previous Episode (45): HANDLING SIN | Good and Godly Living
Episode 45 w/ LJ McCulloch [Mark 9:42-50]
How should christians handle sin in their lives?
Today LJ and I discuss Jesus teaching the disciples about the dangers of leading people away from Christ. Through graphic language and hyperbole, Jesus articulates the severely Christians should deal with sin in their lives.
Even though we are all broken through sin, we can all be restored through the wondrous saving power of Jesus! Praise be to Him!

Previous Episode (43): FOLLOWING GOD | Last Will Be First
Mark 9:38-41 w Parker and Amy Smith from @Yee Yee
Today we have a new and special guest, Amy Smith with her husband and frequent guest, Parker. In this episode we discuss a scene where the disciples approach Jesus about someone performing miracles in the name of Jesus. The disciples take issue with this because they believed "he was not with them."
Jesus corrects their thinking and confronts their poor perception of people.

Previous Episode (43): FOLLOWING GOD | Last Will Be First
Episode 43 w/ Pastor Ivan [Mark 9:33-37]
"Understanding Jesus is a process. We are progressing in this understanding. We are blind and we cannot understand in our own strength or mind. Only when Jesus touches us can we see Him clear and then we can comprehend what He is calling us to do." - Ivan

Previous Episode (42): JESUS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND | Jesus' Plan
Episode 42 [Mark 9:30-32]
In today's episode, we peer into a scene where Jesus is teaching His disciples. This teaching is not explaining some Godly principle, but rather Jesus is prophesying His death and resurrection. The disciples however, did not understand and were afraid.

Previous Episode (40): HELP MY UNBELIEF | A Faithful Father
Episode 41 w/ Kert Prater [Mark 9:14-29]
"I do believe; help my unbelief" - A Desperate Father
In today's episode, Pastor Kert and I talk about the power of prayer and Jesus. This is passage we observe an argument taking place. When Jesus asks why the people are arguing, He is met with a healing request because His disciples could not grant.
The request is from a Father with a son who has been possessed by a demon since he was a child. After seeing the faith of the Father, (imperfect as it was), Jesus heals his son. Jesus later explains to His disciples that this type of demon can only be driven out through prayer.

Previous Episode (40): JESUS IS TRANSFORMED | Light From Jesus
Episode 40 w/ Chet Garner [Mark 9:2-13]
Today we cover one of the most miraculous and unbelievable moments recorded in the Bible! Peter, James, and John witnessed Jesus' transfiguration. His clothes became dazzlingly white and Elijah and Moses appear, speaking with Jesus. Then in an instant, a cloud appeared and covered them. Then the disciples heard a voice saying, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him!" Then suddenly, they were alone again with Jesus.
What's the meaning of this incredible scene?

Previous Episode (39): PICK UP YOUR CROSS | Pursuing Jesus
Episode 39 w/ Parker Smith [Mark 8:34-9:1]
Immediately after Jesus predicting His own death, Jesus clearly defines the how someone can be a follower of Christ. Parker and I discuss how sometimes we can loose sight of the ultimate goal, Jesus. Our sinful nature looks for our security and and fulfillment in the things of this world, but will that ultimately satisfy us?
Is there something other than Jesus that is taking the highest priority in your life?Sponsors / Resources:

Previous Episode (38): CHRIST'S PLAN | How Will Jesus Save Us?
Episode 38 w/ Kasie Noble [Mark 8:31-33]
In today's episode, Kasie and I examine a revealing part of Mark. Jesus speaks and teaches His disciples about how he is going to suffer, die, and rise from the dead. In response to this, Peter takes Jesus aside and rebukes Him. Jesus says, "Get behind me, Satan." He rightly confronts Peter and says that his mind is set on human things instead of the things of God.
Do we accept Jesus for who He truly is?

Previous Episode (37): ULTIMATE CONFESSION | Jesus is the Messiah!
Episode 37 w/ Bernie Calcote [Mark 8:27-30]
"How many of us live out our faith based upon what other people say about who (Jesus) is?" - Bernie
In this episode, we are challenged by the scriptures to recognize Jesus for who He is. He is Messiah! However, are we always willing to claim that? Do we live our lives in a way that clearly shows that truth? Additionally, Bernie and I wrestle with Jesus' intricate plan as He draws ever closer to the Cross.
