02.14.24 | Pastor's Bible Study, Perspectives Podcast
Join the women clergy of First Church of San Diego as they explore anger during the next several episodes of Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors Podcast. They’ll examine where anger comes from, how we can manage it, and how Jesus encountered anger during the last week of his life.
In this episode, join Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah as they examine Mark 11:12-14 – the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree.
It’s the rare instance where Jesus feels so human – hangry, frustrated, impatient. He seems reactive and dismissive. But is Jesus truly reacting to a fig tree not producing fruit outside of its season? Or is Jesus reacting to anger from another scenario?
Hear what Rev. Trudy and Rev. Hannah have to say about our current culture of impatience, individualism, and inaction – how that combined frustration can lead to anger – and some ways we can actively combat that inclination.

- What fruit are you capable of bearing if you weren’t procrastinating?
