In this episode we will look at Jesus' teaching on finding, what he called, abundant life.   We can waste a lot of time and energy following the wrong impulses, motives and energy. It’s worth paying attention to our patterns. If we keep ending up in situations we don’t like, situations that deplete our energy, are not life giving and keep us from moving forward, have we contributed to this outcome in anyway? It’s easy to get stuck. In this lesson, Jesus teaches a new way of living that can save us from our old ways of doing things. The text is The Gospel of Mark chapter 7
