Spoiler: Mark tells us the end of the story in the first verse.

Dr. Chris Croghan joins Kiri, Adam, and Mason to discuss this week's lectionary text about the first verses of the Gospel of Mark. 

From the very first verse, Mark tells us the story of Jesus Christ is good news, which led to a great conversation including:

• What is the importance of calling Jesus, Son of God?
• What is the difference between John baptizing with water and Jesus baptizing with the Holy Spirit?
• Why is there so many details about what John was wearing/eating?
