Mark 15-16: What He did
We finish the Gospel of Mark by sitting with the brutality of the cross and the shock of the empty tomb, even when it’s nowhere near Easter. I push past abstract belief and ask what it means to live like we’re truly bought by Jesus’ sacrifice a...
Mark 14: The cost of devotion
We read Mark 14 and watch Jesus move through betrayal, prayer, and trial with clear purpose rather than panic. We end with a blunt question for our own discipleship: are we all in, and where do we lean on our own strength instead of prayer.&nbs...
Mark 13: It's looking kinda Biblical outside...
We read Mark 13 as Jesus warns that the temple will fall and tells His disciples what to watch for as history moves toward the end. We wrestle with how easy it is to separate “Bible stuff” from real life, and we call ourselves to stay alert and...
Mark 11-12: Not far from the kingdom...
We slow down with Mark as the story zooms into Jesus’ final week, watching his words and actions turn sharper as he nears the cross. We read Mark 11–12 and wrestle with what real faith looks like when Jesus confronts empty religion, answers tra...
Living Outloud: Does Jesus change his mind? (Mark 7)
We wrestle with Mark 7:24–30 and why Jesus’ words to the Syrophoenician woman can feel jarring at first read. We challenge a modern “Jesus was racist” interpretation, then pull out what the passage actually teaches about God’s unchanging charac...
Mark 10: Jesus' ministry in one chapter
We address Jesus’ “salted with fire” teaching by connecting salt to purity and fire to trials that refine the heart. Then we read Mark 10 and sit with the parts of Jesus that comfort us and the parts that confront us. • salt, sacrifice...
Mark 7-8: When we try to soften Jesus' words
We read Mark 7–8 and watch Jesus confront religious hypocrisy, redefine what makes a person unclean, and keep showing mercy to people on the margins. We also wrestle with His warning about being ashamed of His words and why our lives need to ma...
Mark 6: Don't forget about the bread!
We read through Mark 6 and watch how quickly people swing from amazement to offense when Jesus feels too familiar. We also wrestle with the link Mark makes between the feeding of the 5,000, the storm at sea, and how a hardened heart can make us...
Living Outloud: Do you have ears to hear? (Mark 4)
We wrestle with Mark 4:21-25 and why Jesus’ “lamp on a stand” isn’t a throwaway line from a kids song. We connect the lamp, the soils, and “the measure you use” to real spiritual growth, discernment, and what we choose to listen to every day.&n...
Mark 5: New mind, new covering, new mission
We read through Mark 5 and watch Jesus cross into a place everyone avoids, free a man trapped by torment, and then restore two desperate families in the middle of a pressing crowd. We slow down to notice the turning point, a wounded man runs to...
Mark 4: You heard the Word... now what?
We slow down in Mark 4 and listen for what Jesus is really doing when he teaches in parables and confronts a mixed crowd. We read the sower, the lamp, the growing seed, the mustard seed, and the storm, then ask God to show us what kind of soil ...
Mark 2-3: You can't follow what you don't believe
We read Mark 2–3 and watch Jesus forgive sins, heal bodies, and challenge religious systems that prize control over compassion. I slow down on the “unforgivable sin” passage and explain why its context is meant to warn against hardened resistan...
Mark 1: Before you DO anything...
We start Season 12 by curating a new Bible “shelf” and launching the Gospel According to Peter, beginning with Mark’s fast-moving account shaped by Peter’s stories. We read Mark 1 out loud and slow down to reflect on a God who delights in relat...
Living Outloud: Thinking about it (2 Timothy 2)
We slow down in 2 Timothy 2:1-7 and do what Paul commands: think it through and ask God for understanding. We wrestle with the soldier, athlete, and farmer pictures until they turn into practical ways to follow Jesus with focus, obedience, and ...
2 Timothy: Finishing well
We read Paul’s final preserved letter and feel the weight of last words as he calls Timothy to courage, endurance, and faithful teaching. We connect Paul’s warnings about self selected teachers and pointless fights to modern social media habits...
Titus: Starting a Christian community
We read Paul’s letter to Titus all the way through and track how the gospel creates real change in a tough culture like Crete. We walk away with a simple gut check: sound teaching is not just heard, it is lived with integrity so our lives do no...
1 Timothy 4-6: Minding your spiritual health
We read 1 Timothy 4–6 and track Paul’s blueprint for strong, healthy churches built on truth, integrity, and steady spiritual growth. We end with a direct question about humility and whether we actually submit to spiritual authority the way Tim...
1 Timothy 1-3: Hold the line!
We read 1 Timothy 1 through 3 and watch Paul train Timothy to guard the gospel, resist false teaching, and lead with courage. We also wrestle with what it means for the church to act like a real support beam for biblical truth instead of bendin...
Living Outloud: How to stop worrying, literally (Philippians)
We zoom in on Philippians 4:4-9 and talk about how joy, gentleness, prayer, and gratitude move from memory verses into real habits. We share how God’s peace meets us in anxiety and grief, then challenge each other to filter what we consume and ...
Philippians 3-4: Should you try to forget your past?
We finish Philippians by reading chapters 3 and 4 and sitting with Paul’s call to rejoice, pursue Christ, and live with a steady mind. We also challenge a common misuse of “forgetting what is behind” and talk about how Jesus redeems the past in...
Philippians 1-2: The most important quality for a Christian
We start Paul’s letter to the Philippians by tracing how this church began and why Paul has such affection for them. We read Philippians 1–2 and land on humility as the core Christian responsibility, with God supplying both the desire and the e...
Philemon: Fighting systems vs. fighting for hearts
We read Paul’s short letter to Philemon and sit with the uncomfortable, practical question of what real reconciliation looks like when someone has wronged you. We also wrestle with why Paul doesn’t try to dismantle Roman slavery directly, and w...
Colossians 3-4: Shifting your focus on what matters
We read the second half of Colossians and track how Paul moves from big gospel truths to everyday choices about desires, words, relationships, work, and prayer. We also slow down on what “be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiv...
Living Outloud: How to actually put on the armor of God (Ephesians)
We walk through Ephesians 6 and turn the Armor of God from a familiar idea into daily habits that reshape how we think, respond, and endure. We reframe spiritual warfare by naming the real enemy, then unpack each piece of armor with practical w...
