The way of Jesus leads us to a deeper, fuller life. This was true in the ancient world where Jesus first lived and taught, and it’s still true today.

I enjoy John Mark’s books and teaching. I enjoy his style.
However, Mystics E07 is a good example of a format that is not always working. It’s a kind of interview with Dr Sittser, but the dynamic is jarring.

I find this content to be informative and edifying. I love and appreciate JMC; I’d just ask him to hold back on talking over Dr. Sittser in these interview episodes.

I’m so enjoying the series Water From A Deep Well! So so good. I can’t wait for the next episodes to drop!
I LOVE John mark comer- he’s shared so much wisdom with me over the years. I truly do appreciate this podcast, I just wish he would let his guests finish a thought before interjecting. I’ve listened to a handful of the “water from a deep well” series and it’s throughout each episode where he consistently cuts off the guest making it more difficult to pay attention.
This podcast is great, but Jerry Sittser continually talks over John and it’s hard to listen to on audio! I’m sure his book is great but audio isn’t great. 😬
