What does discipleship look like? In Mark 9-12 Jesus gives us clear a picture. Discipleship doesn't look like pretentious religious leaders, material wealth, or grappling after success. Shockingly, being a follower of Jesus is more akin to an infant, a blind beggar, and a poor widow.

Bartimaeus has a lot to teach us about following Jesus. The man was both blind and a beggar yet he saw Jesus better than almost anyone.

Jesus talks about money. A lot. But Jesus isn't so much concerned about your money (I mean, what's He going to do with it?). He's concerned about you.

Jesus' encounter with the rich young man in Mark 10 ends in tragedy. As much as we want to resolve it, scripture won't let us. We have to let it hang uncomfortably in the air.

Church is weird. Seriously weird. So what's the point?

What does it mean to be great? Is it about our accomplishments? Our Productivity? Or is it about something else entirely?

Can Jesus help me or not? It’s the question that always lingers before us. Is Jesus able to help us through cancer, addiction, incarceration, shame, and guilt?

The resurrection of Jesus is an unequivocal 'yes!' for Jesus has brought us new life in him. With the father in Mark 9, we cry out, "I believe….help my unbelief!"
