This week, Joe interviews Justin as we begin our Advent series, exploring how the power and humility of Jesus’ coming shape our worship and discipleship.

Justin Tucker - John 1:1-18 

When Christ was crucified, the curtain in the temple was torn. What was the significance of this moment? How should this event shape the way we view our own walk with Christ and relate to those in our world? 

Joseph Stegall - Mark 15:16-16:8

In Mark 14 and 15, we see Jesus stand before two different councils. In these passages, we catch a glimpse of Jesus walking in perfect obedience to God’s plan, while the religious leaders reveal their hypocrisy. The question we need to ask ourselves is how we can follow Jesus’ example of obedience—and how easily we, too, can drift into hypocrisy.

Joseph Stegall - Mark 14:53-65; 15:1-15

Vulnerability plays a vital role in discipleship. In Mark 14, we see Jesus model vulnerability with His disciples, inviting them into His struggle and sorrow. Likewise, we are called to open our lives to others in appropriate and healthy ways. Justin and Joe discuss practical ways this can be done with wisdom and care.

Joseph Stegall - Mark 14:32-42

What exactly is spiritual pride, and how can we uncover the sin beneath the sin? As Joe and Justin reflect on Peter’s story in Mark 14, they explore these questions and more, looking beneath the surface to better understand sin and grace.
