In this episode, David and Sophie discuss the section of Mark where Jesus makes his final turn toward Jerusalem. After predicting his suffering and death, James and John’s make a request to sit at Jesus’ right and left hand. In so doing, they expose the shadow side of leadership and being chosen. David and Sophie unpack the Greek words for “lord it over” and “authority” to reveal how Jesus subverts the world’s patterns of domination and once again redefines greatness as embracing servanthood.
