Episode 69 [Mark 14:12-21] w/ Kasie Noble
In this episode Kasie and I take a read through Jesus leading his disciples through an intimate Passover meal where he calls out the one who was betraying him. What's crazy is that all that each of his followers wondered if it was him.
An important question: As followers of Jesus are we adjacent to Jesus or behind him?

February 15, 2023 NOW IS THE TIME TO DIE ...BUT WAIT !
Episode 67 [Mark 14:1-2] Solo
In today's episode, I share more details about my story and I came to know and follow Jesus Christ. I also discuss the the urgency and intensity with which the religious authorities want to kill him and why they can't.
An important question to wrestle with is how we are like those that seek to kill Jesus? I know it's not a fun exercise but important.

It is valuable to focus on what we can know about the return and spend less time speculating on what has not been revealed . Faithfulness to Christ is key regardless when he comes.

January 11, 2023 WAIT! IS HE TALKING ABOUT NOW? | Jesus warns of the tribulation that is coming
Episode 63 [Mark 13:14-23] w/ Kert Prater
In today's episode, Kert and I discuss Jesus' mention of the "Abomination of Desolation" and to whom that refers. Jesus details specific actions believers will want to take when it all starts going down. He warns that it will be a tribulation unlike anything that has happened before.
It is important to question if this is something we should anticipate? Has it already happened? Jesus goes on to warn that many will come claiming to be Jesus but don't be drawn away. We must know our shepherds voice in order to stay faithful to the end. We know it's His voice by knowing his word.

January 04, 2023 TRUTH ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD | Jesus explains what must happen first
Episode 62 [Mark 13:1-13] w/ Parker Smith
In today's episode, Parker and I discuss Jesus' prediction about the temple being destroyed and ultimately the end of the world. His disciples ask him for clarity on when and what to look for as signs of the end. He explains that the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.
He stresses that much opposition will face those that follow him, but the one who endures to the end will be saved. A challenging but comforting truth for those that follow him.
Do you find more comfort or challenge with the reality that following Jesus will bring opposition? How does Jesus response to the disciples questions affect us today?

December 28, 2022 ONE WOMAN'S GREAT SACRIFICE | She was happy and gave everything
Episode 61 [Mark 12:41-44] w/ Granger Smith
In today's episode, Granger and I discuss Jesus' observations in the synagogue. As Jesus and His disciples sit, they see people giving their tithes and offerings. Eventually, a woman approaches and gives two copper coins (worth only a few cents).

Jesus makes and astounding statement by saying that she gave more than anyone had because she gave EVERYTHING she had. Some people gave from their abundance, but she gave from her lack.
What does this mean for us? How does the example of this faithful woman impact us?
