In this pivotal lesson, Beth Feger and Lynn Adams explore Mark 8:1–9:1, where Jesus feeds the four thousand, heals a blind man, and asks his disciples one of the most defining questions in Scripture: “Who do you say I am?” Through moments of misunderstanding, revelation, and rebuke, this passage marks a turning point in the Gospel as Jesus begins to reveal the cost of discipleship. Beth and Lynn discuss the expanding table of God’s compassion, the danger of spiritual blindness, and the invitation to follow Christ—even when it challenges our expectations or comfort.

Jan Skaggs and Lynn Adams explore why Jesus shifts to parables in Mark 4—and how these deceptively simple stories invite “heart, not head” understanding. Jan explains what a parable is (a story set alongside the kingdom for clarity), why Jesus speaks of insiders and outsiders, and how listening with open hearts reorders our lives around kingdom priorities.
In a twist, Jan challenges listeners to sit with the parables themselves this week—leaning on the Holy Spirit and small-group community rather than a guided teaching. The conversation then turns to the storm on the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus’ authority over wind and wave leads into a practical “storm theology”: turn to Christ in the chaos, remember He’s in the boat, and practice trust—with journaled reminders and a simple, embodied prayer of open hands.
