E15: Jesus Pokes the Bear

E19: Afraid and told no one, or did they?

In this final chapter of Mark's gospel we hear about the women who go to his tomb on Easter morning. They meet a stranger who gives them instructions to overcome fear and return to the starting point. This sounds like an invitation to a life of courage. We also hear another ending with a different tone and instructions that are more judgemental. What will inspire you as this story ends and becomes intwined with yours?

E18: Being with the Suffering Self

Pilate was amazed by Jesus and so are we as we read the last bit of Mark's gospel. He's accused of crimes he didn't commit and there are layers of betrayal as people are influenced by corrupt political systems. We stay with Jesus all the way to the end when the temple curtain is torn in two and talk about what his death means for humanity.

E16: The end and beginning of days!

Damian and Joan discuss what it's like to hear Jesus talk about the end of days. Jesus predicts the distruction of the temple and what could happen if human beings don't treat each other and the planet with respect. All this apocalyptic talk culminates in a call to wake up to what's happening around us. Contact us via email: joananddamian@gmail.com [joananddamian@gmail.com] Hosted on Ausha.

E15: Jesus Pokes the Bear

In this episode, Joan and Damian discuss the increasingly provocative way Jesus engages with the state and temple leadership. There's a story of tenant's killing their master's son, a discussion about paying taxes, a debate about the nature of the resurrection, talk of the greatest commandment, speculation about the Messiah and an interesting observation about a widow giving all she has to the temple.
