| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the John Mark Coma Teachings podcast. My name is Yinka Dawson and I'm your host. |
| 0:10.2 | Each week we feature teachings by John Mark or other voices in the formation space. |
| 0:15.5 | This week we're finishing up the three goals of an apprentice with the last goal to do what Jesus did. |
| 0:22.6 | John Mark shows that Jesus' life is meant to be a pattern that we follow as his apprentices, |
| 0:27.6 | learning to usher in the kingdom of God through our everyday lives. |
| 0:31.6 | Here's John Mark. |
| 0:33.6 | Okay, we're in a fall vision series on practicing the way of Jesus together in Portland. |
