Hanging On Every Word - Accessible Bible Study for the Average Christian

I can't believe it's our final episode of season 3! And I have a very special episode for you with guest Whitney Pipkin as we discuss the final miracle in the book of Mark. Together we'll learn:

• Why this miracle is easily the biggest miracle of all time.
• How death is a central theme of the Christian's life (and that's not a bad thing!).
• Why avoiding the theme of death may be holding us back.

This one's deep, y'all. I hope you find it as encouraging and edifying as I have. It has been a joy to study with you this season and I can't wait to study with you again. Until next season, go read your Bible, friend!

As we near the end of our study of the book of Mark, we're dedicating a whole episode to one extraordinary miracle that personally challenges my faith. Together we'll learn:

• How context gives this passage a deeper meaning.
• Why this miracle is less about the miracle and more about faith.
• A simple prayer to pray when we long for more faith.

Bible study is always better together. I can't wait to study with you!

In this episode we continue our study of the miracles in Mark with our 15th and 16th miracles. Both accounts are of Jesus healing blind men. Together we'll learn:

• Why Jesus spit and touched the blind man's eyes.
• Why the man couldn't see clearly at first.
• Why Jesus said Bartimaeus's faith healed him. 

These two blind men help us see our own spiritual blindness and our need for Jesus to restore our sight so we might see him clearly. I can't wait to study with you!

We're back studying two more miracles in the book of Mark. As we near the end of our journey through Mark, we're discovering how each miracle points us to the kingdom, authority, and character of Jesus. In this episode we'll learn together:

• Why Jesus touched the deaf man's ears and tongue,
• How Jesus understands our physical limitations and needs, and
• Why the disciples didn't get the answer right...again.

As we study the physical and spiritual miracles of Jesus we'll learn together that Jesus meets all of our needs in himself.

In this episode, author Amanda Hayhurst joins us to discuss our next miracle in Mark. Amanda gives great insight on this sometimes confusing miracle and helps us understand scripture better with her own personal experiences. She also shares about her journey with the Lord and her best selling book, Pray for Him. In this episode we learn:

• How understanding Jewish context helps us better understand the text
• Why the Syrian Phoenician woman's request is full of humble faith
• How trusting our loved ones to Jesus is better than trying to change them

I'm so excited to share this episode with you!

We're continuing our study of the miracles in the book of Mark with a study of a familiar miracle in Mark 6. Together we'll study:

• how to use curiosity to learn more from a familiar passage,
• why asking for more of Jesus may actually a risky move, and
• the vast number of miracles Jesus really performed. 

There's so much we can learn from this familiar passage. I can't wait to study with you!

• Why this miracle is different from every other miracle in Mark so far
• And how we can find peace to move forward in God's will
