Question MARK 9:14-29 with Luke Strickland

This episode we welcome the inspirational singer, author and podcaster, Luke Strickland, to a show in which the the proverbial really begins to hit the fan. Who knew that Mark’s story of the demon~possessed epileptic boy, at once so full of mysterious sayings and circumstances, could hold within it the answer to the very nature of existence? So far in this podcast we’ve seen that Mark builds in an extraordinary dialectic to his story, in so far as what the characters, and particularly the twelve disciples, are going through existentially is meant to redound on us. In other words, we are not let off the hook when in comes to the huge challenges Jesus meets out in this narrative to his opponents, friends and supporters. And this episode is no exception. Indeed here our parlous state as so-called believers becomes even clearer, at least for those of us who have eyes to see. Once more we reach the point of crisis (or at least I do): can we see, do we even know - and more to the point really BELIEVE - the wonderful, jaw+dropping, astounding, astonishing, mind-numbing good news that Mark is hinting at? That in Jesus God is up to something really BIG? Something that is transforming and will transform EVERYTHING for (the) good? Listen to or watch this podcast to find out.
