In Mark 8, everything converges: blurry sight, bold confession, and a Kingdom that hell itself can’t stop.
Zach Dasher and Branden unpack one of Scripture’s hinge moments—Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ—and why Jesus’ reply, “On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it,” still defines reality.
From the staged healing at Bethsaida to the confrontation “Get behind me, Satan,” this episode traces how revelation becomes revolution. What happens when our vision of the Kingdom shifts from power and control to self-giving love? How does the cross redefine dominion?
Drawing on weddings that became living parables of community and sacrificial love, Zach and Branden challenge the defensive posture of modern Christianity and recover the explosive confidence of a Church that storms the gates of hell.
