From Bitter to Sweet: Lessons from Mara and the Cross

In this episode Brock Jones reflects on Exodus 15:22–26, showing how wilderness pressure exposes the heart and how God provides a remedy—symbolized by the tree that makes bitter water sweet. Using Scripture, personal testimony, and pastoral application, he explores murmuring versus prayer, the role of suffering in sanctification, and how Christ’s cross addresses the deeper problem of the heart.
