In this week’s episode of the Walking by Faith Podcast, Rev. Mark Hawks of Crossroads Ministries turns our attention to St. Mark 12:37 (KJV), where Scripture reminds us that “the common people heard him gladly.” This simple yet powerful line reveals the heart of Jesus’ ministry—His message was not reserved for the elite, the educated, or the influential. It was spoken for every person willing to listen.

Rev. Hawks explores why Christ’s words resonated so deeply with everyday people, how humility opens the door to spiritual understanding, and what it means for believers today to hear Him “gladly” in a noisy world. Through clear teaching and heartfelt encouragement, this episode invites listeners to draw near to the Savior who speaks with truth, compassion, and authority.

Join us as we walk by faith, listen with open hearts, and follow the One whose voice still brings hope to all who will hear.
