Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles Wayne Stiles

One event, more than any other, reminds us that personal failure does not remove us from God's plan.

In fact, this event shows us that the success of God's plan does not depend on our performance.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 15–16 and the essence of what makes Christianity true. Remove this, and we’re just another naive religion putting our hopes in wishful thinking. But with this event, our faith is rooted in reality—and true hope!

How can we live our lives well to the end? Especially when we have been rejected or even betrayed?

How did Jesus do it? God's Word shows us how as well.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 15 and Jesus’ example of living well to the end. Jesus committed Himself to the Father—even when following His leading was hard.

We can do the same—even when it's difficult.

At times, we remember our failures. Something triggers a memory—and wham!

We have a flashback of a failure we did years ago. Now what?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at Peter's failure in Mark 14, and Jesus' reminder that our memories don’t have to haunt us. Instead they can become a memory of something far, far better.

This is an episode so essential for us to hear again and again.

How can we be faithful to God when we’re not strong enough to do it?

This episode of Live the Bible is where the rubber meets the road in our Christian lives. Jesus takes us to Gethsemane in Mark 14, and He models how to rely on God for strength in moments of vulnerability.

The peace we long for in life lies on the other side of one decision we can make today.

We want to be faithful and follow God, but there's one problem.
We’re not strong enough to do it.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 14 where Jesus reminds us we have a traitor we have to watch out for. This intensely practical two-part episode shows us Jesus’ example of what to do when our want-to is willing but our can-do is weak.

Jesus held up a special woman as an example to follow.

In fact, more Scripture is devoted to her than to ten of the twelve disciples!

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 14 and meet a disciple of Jesus who didn't write any scripture, didn't preach any messages, wasn't one of the twelve disciples, and she never performed any miracles. 

Why is she so significant for us to know?
