Everyday Grace

Day 17 — Mark 8:1–21 Another miracle. Another boat ride. Same confused disciples. In Day 17 of 40 Days in Mark, Jesus feeds thousands again—yet the disciples still worry about bread.

One step with Jesus.

Day 11 — Mark 5:35–6:6 What do you do when the miracle feels too late? In Day 11 of 40 Days in Mark, Jesus walks into a grieving home and speaks life where everyone else sees death.

One step with Jesus.

Day 10 — Mark 5:21–34 She didn't have a name in the crowd—but Jesus stopped for her.

One step with Jesus.

This episode is for anyone facing chaos, inside or outside. Jesus still says, “Peace. Be still.” One chapter. One day. One step with Jesus.

Day 8 — Mark 4:21–34 What if God is growing something in you—even when you can't see it?

If your faith feels slow or unseen, this episode is a reminder: small beginnings still matter. One chapter. One day. One step with Jesus.

Day 7 — Mark 4:1–20 Same seed. Different soil. Different results. In Day 7 of 40 Days in Mark, Jesus tells the Parable of the Sower—and it becomes a mirror for our hearts. Hardened. Shallow. Distracted. Or open and ready. The Word hasn't lost its power. The question is: what kind of soil are you today? One chapter. One day. One step with Jesus.

Day 6 — Mark 3:20–35 Even Jesus was misunderstood by His own family. In Day 6 of 40 Days in Mark, Jesus is accused of being out of His mind—and even demon-possessed.

Day 5 — Mark 3:1–19 Jesus heals on the Sabbath—and it changes everything. In Day 5 of 40 Days in Mark, Jesus restores a man's withered hand, confronts hardened religion, and calls twelve ordinary people to simply be with Him.

Jesus heals bodies, confronts religious expectations, and goes deeper—offering forgiveness before healing. This episode is for anyone who feels unclean, stuck, or unsure if God is willing. One chapter. One day. One step with Jesus.

Jesus walks into the church—and everything changes. In Day 2 of 40 Days in Mark, we see Jesus teaching with authority, freeing the oppressed, healing the sick, and slipping away early to pray. Crowds gather, momentum builds—but Jesus refuses to chase popularity. Instead, He stays focused on purpose. This episode explores where Jesus shows up in everyday life—and the rhythm of Word, work, and withdrawal that keeps us grounded. One chapter. One day. One step with Jesus.

The Gospel of Mark doesn't ease us in—it launches us straight into the story.
