We read and reflect on John 4:27-42. I talk about when someone isn’t ready to receive something they might actually need. I struggle to find an intention.
We read and reflect on John 3:1-15. I talk about a favorite fantasy series, and then about being a wind spirit. I also talk about how I can know who to trust.

We read and reflect on Mark 4:21-34. I talk about a song from my childhood and how to focus more on grace. I also talk about clearing the 1k listens bar.
We read and reflect on Mark 4:1-20. I talk about the non-judgment Jesus has about whether or not spiritual truth takes root. I also talk about being all the different types of soil, and it feels liberating.
We read and reflect on Mark 3:19b-35. I talk about the family we are born to and the one we choose, talking about my role as the most child. I mention but don’t talk about Satan casting out satan.
