The Disciple Now Podcast
Welcome to the ”Disciple Now” podcast, where we study the Book of Mark in an effort to better understand Jesus’ teachings and how we can apply them in our own lives as we seek to make disciples. Each month we will have a reading of the Scripture with a challenge at the end of the reading, and we will rejoin two weeks from the reading to discuss key lessons we can take from the passages of Scripture, exploring the context, themes, and implications for Christian living. Our goal is to learn from Jesus’ examples and apply His lessons as we seek to follow in His footsteps and share His message with others. Whether you’re a seasoned Christian or new to the faith, we believe you’ll find something of value in our discussions. We hope you’ll join us on this journey of discipleship as we seek to grow in our faith and share it with others.
