  • The Bleeding Woman: Rebel with a Cause
    Apr 5 2022

    What could women in the Bible have to say to the ancient historian Pliny the Elder? Probably quite a lot, as long as they aren't bleeding. Here's some historical context, on Mark 5:21-34, to help us understand the immense faith required of a desperate woman who must ask the question, 'What do I do when my religion is killing me?'

  • The Bleeding Woman & The Genius of Mark's Sandwich
    Apr 19 2022

    Mark, the best cook among the Gospel writers, turns Mark 5:21-43 into a yummy literary sandwich full of plot twists, juxtaposition, and faith. Taste the beauty of a Markan Sandwich and consider: Can art reveal things that science cannot?

  • The Bleeding Woman & Jairus: Risk & Sacrifice
    May 3 2022

    How do we best understand the Pharisees and scribes in the Gospel of Mark from a literary point of view? And what does the juxtaposition of one of their own with a desperate, bleeding woman tell us about taking risks, faith, and healing?

  • Radical Inclusivity: Jesus, Jairus & the Bleeding Woman
    May 17 2022

    With even more artistry, the writer of the Gospel of Mark uses juxtaposition, symbolism, merism, and a 6-foot party sub to make a very big point about Jesus' renewal of Israel and the faith lying at its heart. And you thought we'd discovered everything.

  • Seeking Justice: Jairus & The Bleeding Woman with Pastor Bobby Harrison
    May 31 2022

    We conclude our series on Mark 5 with a conversation with Pastor Bobby Harrison from The Church We Hope For. He shares the story of his dismantling journey toward advocating for justice and equity in the church, tells a great story about his son as a framework for seeking God wholeheartedly, and explains how he relates to Jairus. Then he turns the tables on Maren to find out why she's doing all of this, anyway.

  • Woman at the Well, Part 1: Biblical Banter
    Jun 21 2022

    Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well have a blast trading names, theology, and Messianic revelation. She's filled with Living Water, Jesus is filled with satisfaction, and as usual, the disciples are filled with confusion.
