Everyone of us experiences shame and sometimes it can cut so deep we have either consciously or subconsciously disqualified ourselves from participating in God's work. Sarah brings us to a tremendous grace and hope by showing us both the normality of shame and the power of the resurrection. Through the life of Peter we see a man encountering the deepest level of shame only to become the man whom God used powerfully to kick start His Church. 

Jesus revealed himself to Mary after His resurrection in John 20, during this in-between time, Mark suggests that we too have the opportunity to seek, receive and step into a new revelation of who Jesus is and what He is inviting us into.

As we reflect on the in-between the time of the cross and the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost, we are called to have the agony of the cross shape us in order for the Spirit to flow through us.

In order to come back stronger, we must first acknowledge our weaknesses and deep need for Christ by abiding in Him.

Mark chats with Terry Walling about how God is active and inviting us to go deeper in our dependence on Him during crisis and transition.

Mark explores how Jesus’ death and resurrection was God’s yes to us and for us.

Entering Holy Week, Mark reminds us that much of the account of Jesus’ final week took place in the night. The invitation to journey with Jesus into the night is to step away from present fears, the ways of the crowd and encounter the light of God’s presence.

Likening the world’s current state to ‘the night’, Mark asks us to consider what is happening spiritually and how can we join God in it.

As the people of God, we are being called to advance spiritually. Mark explores what this looks like in the reality of our time through Moses’ leading in the wilderness (Exodus 17), Psalm 1’s account of flourishing and the life and ongoing legacy of St Patrick.

As we are dispersed to gather in homes, Mark reminds us that renewals often emerge through crisis. Reflecting on Hosea 2, Mark commissions us to be the church as we are lead into the wilderness of a new kind.
