| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the John Mark Coma Teachings podcast. My name is Yinka Darsen and I'm your host. |
| 0:10.2 | Each week we feature teachings by John Mark or other voices in the formation space. |
| 0:15.8 | Today, John Mark tackles the second of the three goals of being an apprentice, to become like our rabbi, Jesus. |
| 0:24.4 | But this transformation doesn't just happen. We have to be intentional. |
| 0:29.4 | Here's John Mark. |
| 0:34.3 | Luke chapter 6, hey, we're in a vision series through the fall that we're calling practicing |

| 1:25.8 | this parable. And get ready for the shortest parable of all time. It's a whopping |
| 1:30.2 | like two sentences long. Can the blind lead the blind? What's the answer? Nope. Will they not |
| 1:39.2 | both fall into a pit? Answer? Yes. The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained |
| 1:49.8 | will be like their teacher. That's it. Parable over and done with full stop. And what is this |
| 1:58.3 | parable about? It's about discipleship. |
