The question Mark’s gospel invites us to wrestle with is profound: Who is Jesus to you? In Mark 2, Jesus repeatedly places Himself in positions of conflict. He challenges the crowds, confounds the religious leaders, and confronts individuals, forcing them to confront this question and inviting them to trust in faith.

In this episode, Whit Casey look at Mark chapter 2 and what it looks like to truly pursue Jesus.

Mark’s Gospel starts not in a city or a temple but in the wilderness. Why? The wilderness holds deep symbolic significance. John the Baptist steps onto the stage of redemptive history in this barren, solitary place. It’s here, in the midst of the dry and desolate, that God begins His work of renewal.

In our busy lives, we rarely make space for reflection. What could it look like to step back from comforts or distractions to prepare the way for the Lord? In this episode, Whit and Casey dive deep into the first 8 verses of Mark.
