Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

The book of Hebrews contains some challenging ideas, but it’s also a powerful reminder of who Jesus is and what His sacrifice means for each of us. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about the idea that Jesus is both a prophet and a high priest who makes it possible for us to go before God directly. They also reflect on one of the key themes of Hebrews — the idea that it’s worth it to follow Jesus even in the face of persecution — and explain why it’s so important to mentor and be mentored by others. Episode RecapStart by writing down Hebrews 6:1 (0:13)As you age you have a unique opportunity to mentor younger Christians (1:33)Surround yourself with people at different points in their faith journeys (10:08)Hebrews speaks directly to the questions of the Jewish people (12:53)Jesus was the only prophet and high priest (18:00)We’ll never understand what a gift it is that we can now go before God (21:15)Hebrews reminds Christians that it’s worth it to follow Jesus (25:32)Who was Malchizedek?
