Knowing about Jesus is one thing—actually knowing him personally is another. The Gospel of Mark is the shortest account of Jesus' life, based on firsthand encounters with him. Real conversations. Real situations. Authentic experiences. Let's get to know him.

Jesus calls his followers "disciples"—people who listen to him, talk with him, and look to him for guidance. And as disciples, we have an important job: to help reach others for him so they can get to know him, too.

It comes from the Greek word baptizo, to be baptized, which means to immerse, submerge, or dip. If you've put your faith in Jesus today, last month, or years ago, our job as followers of him is to take that step—to be baptized and live out your faith in him.

When's the last time you shared your faith with someone else? As a Christian, you don't have to get everything right, but Jesus does give us one job: to be ambassadors in reaching people for him—and it's always the right time to start.

A hard truth about marriage: it's not always sunshine and butterflies. If you're longing for things to change, the best option can seem like walking away. But lasting love comes from committing to choosing them, not comparing them to something "better."
