Boat, Seed and Storm - What Mark 4 teaches us about living out our faith at work

Opening the Year - Week 1

This morning I was reading Mark, chapter 4. It is a dense and layered passage. Much could be explored here, but three words stood out clearly to me: boat, seed, and storm.

I could not help connecting this chapter with this particular season of the year. 2026 has begun. Plans have been drafted, goals defined, decisions made. The holiday greetings are behind us, and routine has returned. The question that remains is both simple and uncomfortable: where does Christ truly fit into this new cycle?
