Mark 8 is one of those chapters that stops you in your tracks. It’s not just a record of miracles — it’s a deep, personal invitation from Jesus to see clearly, understand deeply, and follow Him wholeheartedly. In this week’s Apprenticeship to Jesus study, we walk through moments of compassion, confrontation, and challenge that shape what it means to be a disciple.
