Have you seen the carrot and stick method?

It’s how you get a mule to keep moving by dangling a carrot two inches from his nose. Always moving, but never getting the carrot.

Sounds like us sometimes, doesn’t it?

In this week's episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 8–9 where Jesus helps His disciples make sense of what they’re chasing by giving them a literal mountaintop experience of hope. 

Forget the carrot. We need hope right where we are today.
