We have all sung the powerful words of the hymn, "I have decided to follow Jesus." The melody resonates, and the sentiment rings true, but the question lingers: What does it actually look like to walk in Jesus' footsteps? In this program, our Bible teacher, Chip Ingram, gets to the root of that question as he begins his study in the Gospel of Mark. Join him as he examines Jesus’ life and ministry, revealing the profound implications of His sacrifice and the radical call to follow Him wholeheartedly.

Mark Introduction: Mark 1:1-13
Preparing Jesus as "the Way": Mark 1:2-8
Jesus' temptation: Mark 1:12-13
