February 12, 2023 • Micah Witham • Mark 8:14–21

Mark 8: 14-21, The previous section (ch 5-6) has 4 different stories with the number 12 in it. Why? What is so clear to Jesus that seems to be so unclear to the disciples and what do 12 & 7 baskets have to do with it? What is "leaven" and what does it have to do with the Pharisees?

Jesus seems to learn early on that if he's going to live into his calling and become who he's intended to be, he will need to have times of solitude and stillness where he's not DOING but rather he is BEING in the presence of the Divine.

The Transformation of Jesus: Embracing Who You Are

January 22, 2023 • Mark 2:1–12

I Forgive You / Mark 2:1-12 / A lame man is brought to Jesus and the first thing he tells them is that his sins are forgiven. This of course upsets the pharisees because only GOD can forgive sins. But this is what Jesus is coming to know and in this moment, speaks out loud into the world what he knows to be true about himself. What does it take to get to this place of knowing oneself? What holds us back from putting out into the world what we may know to be true in our hearts?
