The Surprising Presence of Jesus in the Storm | Gospel of Mark | Pastor Rich Villodas
A close reading of Mark 4:35-41 that reflects on storms in personal, relational, and communal life.

The talk contrasts situational anxiety with deeper soul anxiety and frames the boat as the church called to embody peace.
