Today we are in Mark 6:30-44 and the feeding of the 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. We discuss the balance between self care and serving others and how even Jesus was being pushed and pulled in his navigation of such. We then discuss the feeding of the 5000 as a symbolic of the […]
Today we are in Mark 6:14-29 dealing with the beheading of John the Baptist. In this episode we deal with the inability to pin down Herod as a good or bad man, our flaw as humans to over-promise, and also speak briefly about the criterion of embarrassment as a scholarly tool to pin down a […]
Ego needs to create nice clean boxes for everything to fit in. It ties itself to forms to identify you and all around you. Today we discuss that and use Mark 6:7-13 to discuss this. We also borrow a section from Oprah Winfrey’s podcast SuperSoul Conversations where she sits with Eckhart Tolle to discuss his […]
Jesus teaches that a prophet in his own hometown is without honor in Mark 6:1-6. What the Christ is really saying is that those who know us most intimately before we awakened will struggle to hear the wisdom that comes from us once we awaken. The ego is always looking to make sense of the […]
Jesus in Mark 5:21-43 is faced with having to choose between rushing off to help the daughter of Jairus or stopping to interact with the woman whose issue of bleeding had just been healed by touching the garment of the Christ. We in our minds prioritize these events but the Christ seems to recognize that […]

In Episode 25 we explore Jesus’ use of parables and how using parables offers flexibility for the audience to learn based on their own stage of development. We hit on the idea that Jesus interpretation is given to his apostles and closest disciples of which the author of these gospels was not present for. That […]

Today we are in Mark 4: 21-25. We often think when we have Truth on our side or more importantly when we have Wisdom on our side that putting such truth or wisdom out into the world, it will readily be accepted. Truth be told, such is almost never the case. Most people being in […]
Today we are in Mark 4: 1-8 which is the famous parable of the sower and the seed. The Seed or the word (Christ within us) is cast about on various landscapes. The path that is already and still constantly trodden, the ground full of thorny brush, the path covered with stones and rocks, and […]
Today we are Mark chapter 3:20-34. Jesus does something strange in these verses which is to seem to push back against his family and welcome in those who sit with him as family. This event feels uncomfortable to us. This feels anti-Jesus and yet there is a great lesson to be learned here. That while […]
