Feasting on Truth

In this episode, Erin Warren introduces the study, goes over the format and how to use your workbook. Then she teaches through the context of 1 and 2 Peter. Context will help us better understand Peter's words as the Bible was written for us but not to us. Before studying, we always need to first answer some key questions that help us know the original intent of the passage and what was going on in the world in which these words were first written.

Peter knew suffering, but Peter also knew Jesus. His letters are an encouragement to anyone facing hardships and trials and a reminder that we can be steadfast because our God is steadfast. And when we persevere, what awaits us in eternity is worth far more than anything this world has to offer.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 15-16 and wraps up this study called Unexpected Savior. It is hard to read these verses and see what our Savior suffered on our behalf, but we must press in. Mark pulls out all of his juxtapositions here: irony, insider/outsider motifs, the secret gospel and one final Markan sandwich to put an exclamation point on his account of Jesus' life. His final verses remind us of who Jesus is and how He accomplished His mission, and the account comes to an intentionally abrupt close that forces us to make our decision about Jesus and ultimately, our lives.

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us. Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 14 - all 72 verses! The time has come. This chapter is packed with the last days before the cross. Jesus is anointed in Bethany, shares the Passover meal with disciples, and prays in the Garden of Gethsemane. He is arrested, and His trial begins. These are familiar stories, but with three Markan sandwiches, our challenge is to read this within Mark's structure and better understand our Unexpected Savior.

In this episode, Erin Warrens teaches through Mark 13. Jesus warns Peter, James, John, and Andrew of things that are to come. He urges them toward truth, preaching the Gospel, and calls them to be on guard and remain awake. Reading passages like this can incite fear in us, but let's press in and remain focused on what we can know: we have a faithful, eternal Savior whose kingdom cannot be shaken.The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 12. It's tempting to lift these passages out of their context and attempt to interpret individually, allowing the mysteries within to distract us. But we must continue to study within Mark's specific structure. As the religious leaders continue to try to trap Jesus, Jesus proves once again that He is the authority, wise and deliberate. He tells a parable building on the leafy fig tree of Mark 11, defeats each trap set before Him, and ultimately reminds us of His desire for each of us: to surrender so He might bear fruit through us.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 11. Jesus arrives at Jerusalem's doorstep and enters deliberately and triumphantly into the city and into the Holy Week. Mark makes a bold statement about what Jesus has come to do through another Markan sandwich. This week required a little extra cultural study to fully grasp the meaning behind the withered fig tree and the cleansing of the temple. The time has come; Jesus is about to accomplish for us what we could not do on our own.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 10. This chapter is the final one in the middle section of Mark, a series of conversations as Jesus moves from Galilee to Jerusalem. Jesus continues to teach His disciples and followers about why He came: He came to do what we cannot do ourselves. He came not to be served, but to serve. He's is not what they expected, nor is His kingdom like the kingdom of this world. It's so much better.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 9. This chapter is mart of the middle section of the book, taking place as Jesus is moving toward Jerusalem and toward His death. You can sense the shift in His message, plainly explaining to the disciples what He came to do. This week, we see the humility of Jesus that beckons us toward humility too.

In this episode, Erin H. Warren talks about the importance of community in building faith. Satan loves for us to remain in isolation, but God designed us to be in community around the Word of God. Using examples from Scripture, Erin explains what this community looks like and shares one of the most powerful pictures of how community builds our faith found in Ephesians 6:16.

Building Faith is a companion series to REconstructing Faith on the Million Praying Moms podcast. This series sets a foundation for Erin's new book, Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What.

More on the book:

Life rarely goes as planned, and we often find ourselves tossed to and fro by circumstances out of our control. When things go awry, our confidence in God’s faithfulness may waver. But His faithfulness is tied to His promises in Scripture, not our earthly circumstances.

In Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What, author Erin H. Warren unpacks the precious promises of God that are worth far more than anything this world has to offer.

You will learn how God:

• Lifts your burdens to give you rest

• Provides an abundance of comfort that you can extend to others

• Sends rainbows and hope after every storm

• Shares a steadfast love that never wavers

• Gives us His strength to keep running the race

Erin’s prayer is that by the end of this book, “women will fling their arms wide and leap forward to proclaim, ‘I trust in God!’”

In this podcast, Erin Warren gives a review of Mark 1-8, revisiting each chapter at a high level to remind us of the structure, themes, and truths about who Jesus is. He is the Unexpected Savior - not a conquering king, but rather a Man of Sorrows, Servant, and Savior. He came to preach the gospel and in doing so, planted small seeds in the lives of twelve men. It's a story of growing faith, rooted (pun intended) in the repeated theme: hear, believe, bear fruit. The seed of faith starts with hearing the Good News, believing, and then turning to follow Christ and His ways, bearing fruit as you go.
