Mark's Ending - Take It or Leave It
We are on the other side of the crucifixion. Easter has passed, and on our Red-Letter journey, we come up to what I can only describe as jarring! When you have invested as much time as we have and focused on the harmony of al...
Lovest Thou Me? - The Restoration of Peter
How many times have you blown over the passage. Yeah, you marveled that Peter heard the rooster crow, which recalls what Jesus told Peter would happen when they were in the upper room. But let's really dig into this. There is...
Show Me the Man and I'll Show You The Crime
As you listen to this podcast today, reflect on how little has changed. As I was reading the accounts of the interrogation of Jesus, it struck me how much we could learn just by going back to our roots for justice, for accus...

My Father and Me
If you can read John 14:4-14 and are not waiting for the same answer to the question that Thomas asks, then I want to talk to you some more! I think we are all taught the theology, but do we grasp the how? Thomas is not weak ...
The Gospel According to the Psalms
We jump of the Red-Letter trail today. Just for a bit. The reason will become obvious. We noticed that in almost every deep dive into the Red-Letter journey through the Gospels, that we inevitably reference the Psalms. So tod...
