In this week's Gospel lesson, people are really struggling with what Jesus has to say, and some are even walking away. Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy discuss belief, the strangeness of religious teachings, and the scandalous nature of Jesus' words.

thank you. Another really thoughtful video. So much to think about and meditate on. Desire is such a key word and emotion in our journeying with God. I wonder if when Jesus talks about eating his flesh he is asking me/us whether God is really enough. If all else were stripped away would our relationship with God be enough to sustain us? Hard concept and question when we have so much in our society. I am always deeply moved when I read about the mystics desire for God and pray for this for myself. Blessings and thanks to you all. ❤

We've been spending a lot of time out east and I certainly miss hearing you three! I was "dragged" here to come get my fix. Maureen

Thank you, I found your podcast at the beginning of the John 6 readings this year. Your discussions open doors to my understanding that I didn't know existed.

Thank you, John. That means a lot to us. We hope you'll continue along our journey through the lectionary as we make our way back to Mark's Gospel.

Once again great discussion and insights. I am reminded of the hymn by J.Gripp “Jesus, and shall it ever be.”

[@stmarksnewcanaan]

Thank you, Dan. And what a hymn. Those are some powerful lyrics!

I am SOOOOOOOOO with you guys... I've so loved this whole drilling down into John 6 this month, so sad it's over, and wanting us all to experience the SHOCK of this bolt from the blue.

It's been a wild ride through this season of bread! Thanks for tackling these passages alongside us!
