Jesus told his listeners they would need to give up their lives to follow him. So why did they follow him? Here’s a transcript: I’m thinking about the eighth chapter of Mark’s Gospel (Mark 8:31-38).

February 21, 2021 Psalm 25:1-10Mark 1:9-15 by Eric Anderson The young lau’ipala didn’t want to go to school. That’s not all that unusual for a young lau’ipala, or a yellow tang in English.
