About this episode
This episode explores the moment when Jesus appears to two discouraged disciples, highlighting the theme of God's constant presence in our lives.
Have you ever felt like God was distant…only to realize later that He was with you the whole time? In this episode of My Bible Life, we look at a powerful moment in Mark 16:12–13, where two disciples are walking away discouraged — believing everything is over. But what they don’t realize is… Jesus is walking right beside them. As they walk, something begins to shift — not around them, but within them. This passage reminds us that even when we don’t recognize it, God is present, speaking, and working in our lives. 📖 Scripture: Mark 16:12–13 In This Episode • Who the two disciples were• Where they were going and why it matters• Why they didn’t recognize Jesus at first• How Jesus revealed truth through Scripture• What this moment teaches us about recognizing God’s presence 🔗 Connect with My Bible Life Podcast: https://vanessaupkins.podbean.comWebsite: https://vanessaupkins.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/vanessaupkinsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessa_upkinsSubscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Vanessa_Upkins 📖 Follow the Gospel of Mark Journey 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf-tQxl41M50LsgEf503RBX-9QBaxi1wx New episodes are added weekly as we…
