In this episode we wrap up things with Legion, and discuss how the healed man and the townspeople react differently to the events of chapter 5 so far. Then we move back across the sea to where Jairus’ daughter is in a pickle – but before Jesus can help her he has to help another […]

After some more parables, things kick up a notch in Mark. We get Jesus on the sea in one heck of a storm, from the disciples’ perspective, but a mere annoyance to the guy who tells the wind and waves when to shut up. Then we launched into the story of “Legion”, taking special care […]

In this episode of our journey through Mark, we discuss the notion of “demons casting out demons”, and look at how the family of Christ is (to this point) embarrassed by his escapades and discussions with the Pharisees. We also discuss parables, and dig into the parable of the sower. In the Inquisition, we talked […]

The band is back together! In our first recorded episode in almost a year, Pastor and I jumped into the Gospel according to Mark. Right off the bat, we learned how Mark is a Gospel written for the oppressed gentile Christians population of Rome – and where Mark gets his facts! (Peter and Paul) Mark […]

We moved into the next section of Ezekiel. In the Inquisition we talked about why many in the West are blind to the connection between the religion of Islam and the atrocities we are seeing in the Middle East.
