*** SHOW NOTES (not a transcript) ***
Lead:
Why did Mark write what he wrote? Experts disagree, but this makes sense.
Intro:
This is a keepin’-it-real kind of program, and part of keeping it real is just telling you something “like it is.” One part of that today is that we have a good bit to read because we’re going to tackle a longer Psalm. Another is that even though I’m going to keep the Thinking & Reflection Segment short today, I want to share a perspective about why Mark wrote what he wrote that makes sense to me.
With that, remember that yesterday we heard Mark talk about the first couple “conflicts” that Mark writes about. Today we hear more of that, ultimately ending up with his authority being rejected.
