Jesus's Hometown Disadvantage | The Gospels | Mark 6:1–12

Why could Jesus do so few miracles in his hometown? Can familiarity keep us from seeing who he really is? Have you grown bored or complacent with Jesus? In today’s episode, Patrick shares how Mark 6:1–12 serves as both a warning and an invitation, calling us to confess our boredom and return to a living, expectant trust in Christ.
