Bill English of Bible and Business and On Path Coaching outlines some of the losing strategies we often bring to our relationships and our workplace.  How do they bring harm to our workplace and our relationships?  Jen Oshman, author of "Very Good," helps us to look at the entirety of Scripture, not just cherry-picked verses, to see God's design and valuing of women.  In God's eyes, being a woman is very good!!!

In this episode, I walk through the closing section of Mark 6 and explore what it means to follow Jesus when life feels frustrating, unclear, or stuck. We look at the disciples straining at the oars in the middle of a storm and notice something deeply comforting before Jesus calms the wind—He sees them. As we trace the bigger movement of Mark 6–9 from confusion to clarity, we begin to see that the disciples are still learning who Jesus really is, even after witnessing miracles. And honestly, so are we. This chapter reminds me that when I feel like I’m doing everything I know to do and still not getting anywhere, Jesus is not absent. He sees me, He comes toward me, and He reveals Himself right in the middle of the struggle.

What We Cover: 

• You’ll learn why Mark 6 is part of a bigger movement from confusion to clarity about Jesus.

• Discover why the disciples’ storm is about more than weather—it’s about faith, fear, and learning who Jesus really is.

• You’ll see why one of the most comforting truths in this chapter is that Jesus sees us before He rescues us.

• Learn how spiritual hardness can keep us from recognizing what Jesus is doing, even after we’ve seen His provision.

• You’ll understand how Jesus walking on water reveals His divine authority, not just His compassion.

• Discover why the place where you feel most overwhelmed may be the very place Jesus is revealing Himself most clearly.
