Summary
“What if there is a rich gift waiting for us in this new cultural moment of rising hostility?”
John Mark discusses what it meant in the early church to be a witness and how that applies to how we share the Gospel. He argues that the call of Jesus isn't just to preach the good news, but it's also to become 'good news people.'
Key Scripture Passage: 1 Peter 2v11-12

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the John Mark Comer |
| 0:03.0 | teachings podcast by practicing the way. |
| 0:05.0 | This teaching was originally given at |
| 0:08.4 | Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon |
| 0:10.4 | as a part of the preaching the gospel series. Hey friends, this is Sam and if you don't know me I get the wonderful privilege of |
| 0:30.4 | being the producer of this podcast. It is such a delight to be a part of this work and serve you all. |
| 0:38.0 | The teaching this week is a little different from normal. At the time John Mark was getting ready to |
| 0:44.4 | transition from his role as the pastor of Vision and Teaching at Bridgetown Church |
| 0:48.7 | to start practicing the way. And so at the end of his teaching, he gives a few final words to the church as he reflects |
| 0:57.7 | on his time there and their journey so far. |
| 1:01.1 | And we thought it would be fitting to also share it with all of you who have been following that |
| 1:06.3 | journey via this podcast. But we also wanted to give you a little context before we dive into the |
| 1:11.7 | episode today. |
| 1:13.0 | Thankfully, John Mark gave plenty of teachings |
| 1:16.0 | that weren't directly a part of the practices, though. |
| 1:19.0 | So moving forward, we're really glad to be able to share those teachings with you as well. |
| 1:25.6 | So from me and the whole team and practicing the way, thank you so much for following with |
| 1:31.8 | us so far on this journey. |
| 1:34.0 | We pray that this episode blesses and encourages you |
| 1:38.6 | as you reflect on your own journey |
| 1:41.0 | of spiritual formations so far. |
| 1:43.7 | Enjoy. |
