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.

Consider the Cost

In this episode, we read a backstory of John the Baptist and see why and how he was executed. As this story is called to our attention, we are confronted with the reality that sharing the gospel of repentance could come at the expense of losing your life. Also, we see the disciples returning after their first mission trip reporting their experiences to Jesus—His response to them afterwards might seem counter-cultural.

You will face rejection when presenting the gospel. Jesus teaches this lesson in Mark chapter 6, as He prepares His disciples for their first mission trip. He shows us how to handle such rejection, and He provides additional key lessons in our dependence on God.

In this episode, we read how Jesus healed a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years, and how He raised the 12-year old daughter of a prominent synagogue leader from the dead.
Through these experiences we gain some insight into the key lessons Jesus could have been teaching His disciples, and we discuss how we can apply these lessons as disciples of Christ.
