What really happened at the Last Supper? What is the point of modern-day Christians taking communion / the Eucharist? Join us as Carlos and Dallas sit down to discuss Mark 14:12-25 together.

This week on Midweek Move, Carlos and Dallas dive into the fascinating contrast between two people, one who blessed Jesus and one who betrayed Him. Through Mark 14:1-11, they explore what true humility looks like, why Mary's act of worship mattered, and how we can guard our hearts from pride and spiritual hardening.

In Mark 13, Jesus discusses times of tribulation, the coming of the son of man, and other end-times ideas. Can we predict when the rapture will happen using this? Join us as Carlos and Dallas sit down to discuss Mark 13:14-37

Jesus begins to reveal what’s coming at the end of the age. In Mark 13:1–13, He speaks of the destruction of the Temple, deception in the last days, and the call to endure. Dallas and Carlos unpack what these verses meant to the first disciples—and what they mean for us today.

In this episode of Midweek Move, Dallas and Carlos continue through Mark 12:35–44. Together, they unpack Jesus’ confrontation with the scribes, His challenge to their view of the Messiah, and His warning about prideful leaders who exploit the vulnerable. The episode closes with the powerful story of the poor widow’s offering, and what it teaches us about faith, sacrifice, and the heart behind giving.
