WE continue our Journey with Mark
As we follow the disciples who went from their greatest revelation of Belief, to their darkest nightmare of the long night of the soul.
Witness the confession of faithfulness of the 12,
Which crashes into total faithlure and a crisis of faith.
Then follow the unknown disciple who stayed as long as he could until even he fled for his life.
