In Mark 14, Jesus and his disciples go to the Mount of Olives to pray. Here, Jesus shares his burdens with 3 of his closest disciples and then goes on to pray a heartbreaking yet awe-inspiring prayer. What happened here, and what can we learn from this moment? Join us as Carlos and Dallas dig through Mark 14:26-42 together.
