The disciples still don’t get it despite Jesus’ repeated explanation of the Kingdom of God throughout the book of Mark. Last Sunday, we heard John and James arguing over which of them would receive the greatest place of honor next to the Messiah. That sparked numerous questions on leadership, rights, privileges and more. Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons sit down at the JourneyNOW table to explore these topics and more.

Plus: Tim gets sauced in private; Mike has no patience for Suzie’s salads; and Kevin tacos go south.

One of the most common questions from last Sunday’s teaching was just how far we have to go in living a cross-shaped life. What healthy boundaries should we set as we follow Jesus? That line of questioning reveals more about us than it does about Jesus’ teaching, according to this week’s JourneyNOW roundtable panel of Kevin Dixon, Tim Timmons, Suzie Lind and Mike Erre. They also consider questions about whether wealth and public platforms are compatible with following Jesus.

Plus: Tim’s in another world, Suzie’s appealing, life’s a beach for Kevin and Mike’s on a California roll.
