What do you hear when life feels like a wilderness?

In the debut of a special series through the Gospel of Mark, Clayton steps away from the study of John to explore the urgent, glorious opening of Mark 1:1-13. While we often feel defined by our struggles, anxieties, or failures, the baptism of Jesus reveals a different reality.

When the heavens were "torn open," the Father declared a love for His Son that—through faith—is now declared over you. Join us as we discuss the "agape" love of God, why your status doesn't change when you enter the wilderness, and the comfort of knowing that the Spirit who leads us is the same Spirit who sustains us.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why Mark is the perfect Gospel for the "spiritually dry."
  • The violent beauty of the heavens being "torn open."
  • The difference between transactional love and God’s agapetos affection.
  • Your struggle doesn't change your standing before God.
