Episode 17 w/ Kert Prater [Mark 3:20-35]
Chad and Kert unpack a pivotal scene in the early ministry of Jesus. The religious leaders accuse Him of being possessed by Satan, and Jesus shows them the fallacy of their claims while rebuking their heresy-filled hearts. Also, Jesus makes a surprising statement that completely shifts the idea of what it means to be family and what it means to be followers of Christ.
