Zach admits something right out of the gate: he doesn’t do well with passive-aggressive people—and then Mark 12 confronts us with a Jesus who can feel surprisingly aggressive.

But is Jesus being harsh, or is He being clear?

In this episode, Zach, Jill, and Brandon step into Mark 12 and talk about the tension every believer has to learn: leaving real room for the Holy Spirit to move, without trying to manufacture what only God can do.

They unpack how the parable in this chapter exposes a subtle drift: when people start acting like they own what they were only ever entrusted to steward, they forget where they came from.

They also talk about, why we have to learn to cherish the small moments of cultivation, not just the big, unforgettable ones

We’re grateful for the big moments. We just don’t want to train people to believe God only moves in big moments.
