Is the Gospel of Mark only a condensed version of the life of Christ? What does it have to offer us that the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John do not? Join Dr. Tim Gray in this powerful fourteen-part series to discover the Gospel of Mark like never before.

The USCCB states that the Gospel of Mark “is likely the first to have been written, yet it often tells of Jesus’ ministry in more detail than either Matthew or Luke (see Mk 5:1–20 or Mk 9:14–29). It recounts what Jesus did in a vivid style, where one incident follows directly upon another...Jesus is the Son whom God has sent to rescue human-ity by serving and by sacrificing his life (Mk 10:45)”. [1]

Immerse yourself in this action-packed Gospel that offers Saint Peter’s account of Christ’s life and teaching.

Delve deep into the theme of the “way” and true discipleship and see how Jesus reveals his identity in authoritative action and word.

Consider more deeply Jesus’s teaching on the Temple and walk with Jesus to Gethsemane and the Way of the Cross as Mark describes it.

Open yourself to profound reflection on the shortest of the gospels.

Combining the insights of renown Catholic theologian Dr. Tim Gray, with the masterful artistry of the Augustine Institute, this Catholic Bible study series uses the Church’s rich tradition of lectio divina to help you better understand and better pray with the Gospel of Mark.

This study was filmed at the Augustine Institute Studios in Denver, CO.

Following Christ takes more than simply believing in Him or doing what He asks of us. Jesus wants you to be more than just a believer. He wants you to be his disciple and friend. Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John is your guide to a personal encounter with Christ. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus seeks after us. He comes to meet us and beckons us to follow him. He calls us to be his disciples, to trust him, to open ourselves to his merciful love, and to love others as He has loved us. Follow Me invites you to experience the joy of a renewed friendship with Christ.
