Can you imagine a time when women were marginalized and yet entrusted with the most monumental task in human history? Our latest episode explores the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ through the Gospel of Mark, shedding light on the powerful responses from a diverse group of people - the Roman centurion, the dedicated female followers of Jesus, and Joseph of Arimathea. We journey through their unique experiences, illuminating how God used the Gospel to break societal norms and uplift the marginalized, showcasing the transformative power of Jesus' message on a diverse group of people.
Our discussion doesn't stop there. We turn the spotlight onto Joseph and Nicodemus, two societal power figures and their journey from fear to bold proclamations of faith. This contrasts with the Roman centurion and the deeply committed female followers of Jesus. The episode ends with a deep dive into the irony of the Christian life and the spiritual growth that can sprout from traumatic experiences. The gospel reveals the truth about Jesus and us, and how believing in Jesus brings us into a new community - the family of God. We hope that this episode will help you internalize the gospel's truth, feeling its humbling effects while inspiring bold identification with Jesus.
