The Gospel of Mark, Part VI: The Disciples

Throughout the Gospels, the Twelve Disciples get to spend extra time with Jesus, see him prayer, watch him perform miracles, etc. Yet they still struggle to understand precisely who Jesus is! Why is this and what does it show us about the spiritual life? Join Dr. Luke Arredondo as he explores this topic.
