    S2E8. Mark 10: Jesus on Marriage & Divorce – Grace for the Broken

    Bible study on Mark 10:1–12: What did Jesus really teach about marriage, divorce, and God’s heart for the broken? In this episode of A Pew with a Brew, we explore one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings — His words on marriage and divorce in Mark 10. With honesty and pastoral care, we reflect on what Scripture reveals about God’s design for marriage, the reality of brokenness, and the grace that heals and restores. Drawing on insights from Genesis, Paul’s letters, and voices like John MacArthur and N.T. Wright, this message invites thoughtful reflection on faith, commitment, and redemption. Rooted in a Christian understanding of Scripture, this conversation offers spiritual encouragement — not legal or professional advice — for those seeking truth and hope in the complexities of modern relationships. Because every pew has a broken heart.

    S2E7. Mark 8: Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Peter’s Confession

    Bible study on Mark 8:27–38: What did Peter really mean when he said, “You are the Christ” — and why does it still cost us today? Grab your brew, take a pew, and settle in as we explore one of the most pivotal moments in Mark’s Gospel — Peter’s bold confession: “You are the Christ.” In this episode of A Pew with a Brew, we examine what that declaration really means. How it changes everything for the disciples, and why following Jesus still costs — but also frees us today.
