"Oh thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" Imagining Jesus saying this to his chief apostle makes you think if he'd have need to say it to you. Study with us this week as we discuss fear and faith and how to retain our confidence despite our fears.

All too often in our study of the parables we focus on the soil and forget the Sower. Jesus tells us that the purpose of the parables is to "convert" and "heal" us; so this week we study what we learn about the Sower, about the Merchant, about the Savior that makes us want to return to Him and be healed.

The word "apostle" simply means "one who was sent." In this sense, we are all apostles, sent by the Savior and, again today by our prophet, to teach and minister and help and heal. In this episode we study how to do all of that better.

In a world of constant and violent persecution against those who follow Jesus, Mark writes stunning accounts of the Savior's miracles to remind Christians the reason and power behind their faith. As we study this week amidst a world of modern persecutions we draw from these stories of physical healing truths about the Savior's ability to heal us spiritually.

Although the crowds followed Jesus he went up into a mountain and his disciples, came to him and learned from him how to leave the crowd behind and be true follower. Study with us as we examine our own discipleship and consider what we can do to be more "blessed", salt the earth and light the world, live the higher law, and become perfect.

"Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." This pronouncement from the Savior is about so much more than baptism, it's about Christ's desire to change us, as he is able to change so many things, in something fit for the Kingdom. Study with us in this episode to learn how he can change you!
