Welcome, podcast listeners to the Pastor Mike Drop podcast.

I'm your host, Pastor Mike Drop podcast. I'm here with Emily Langfall, my co-host. I'm not adding Drop legally to my name, just so you know. That's good to know, but it's a good name for a podcast. You know, it does work since it's anyway. If you have to explain it, it doesn't work anymore. It works. No, it does.

That's good. Hey, we've got some great ground to cover again today. Mark's Gospel, so underrated.

You know, I mean, it's not like underrated. Like people just say it's terrible. But Mark's Gospel, I think, you know, Matthew gets a lot of attention because it's first. Luke is very unique in its own way. John is really unique.

Mark sometimes gets overlooked, and it shouldn't because it's the first one. It's got its own flavor, its own depth that the other gospels don't even try to do.

And we're going to help you unpack that today. And we got some good help here today. Hi, Emily. We sure do with us today. We have Pastor Ashley. Hello. Hello. Always love being here. Always love having you here. Welcome back. Thanks. Yes. And Fletcher's dad. If you can't see, it is Minister Wyatt, wrapping out his son's face on his shirt, labeled.
