A Verse-by-Verse Journey Through the Gospel of Mark

More Like Jesus is a verse-by-verse journey through Mark's Gospel designed for people who are trying to figure Jesus out.

Many of us feel like we need to figure out faith before we can start. That's backwards. The first disciples didn't understand Jesus first—they encountered him, walked with him, and understanding followed.

The purpose of More Like Jesus is simple: spend time with Jesus, discover who he really is, and let that discovery transform how you live. The first disciples didn't start with understanding. They started with proximity. The closer they got to Jesus, the more their lives changed.

That's the journey we're taking together.

Starting January 1, 2026, Len Wilson is walking through the entire Gospel of Mark using an immersive, story-based approach. Instead of standing outside the text analyzing it, you'll enter the story and let it form you from within.

What you'll experience:

Three story-based entries per week
Monthly reflections on what it means to walk the way of Jesus
A 12-season journey through the complete Gospel of Mark
Perfect for group studies

Season 1 is completely free (January - March 2026).

What Leaders Are Saying

Len Wilson is an extraordinarily gifted communicator of the Good News of Jesus with experience reaching a variety of audiences in faithful and authentic ways.

In this study, you will find a fresh look at some of the earliest teachings about Jesus passed around the original churches in The Way.

The days of churches being able to gather large crowds and hope for life transformation have ended in recent years. We no longer serve a culture who hold any expectations for either church involvement or even Biblical understanding. To answer the cries of pain in our age, lasting faith development must retake both the spirit and form of our ancestors in the faith who intentionally made more and maturing disciples of Jesus in a movement that changed the world.

In this study on the earliest Gospel of Mark, Len opens a plethora of ideas to help capture people’s hearts with the life-changing, history-altering, life-healing story of Jesus. Leverage your leadership and influence to help people become "More Like Jesus.”

I love the verse by verse look of Mark’s gospel in More Like Jesus. If we truly believe Scripture is a gold mine of God’s living word, then let’s go slow and see what we hear and learn.

Chris Backert

Senior Director, Ascent Movement

I absolutely love the concept of the More Like Jesus weekly devotional Bible Study. Here at The Chapel we say we believe God’s vision is for 'People to become more like Jesus for the sake of others.' The topic matter is perfect! I also love the format. It is the right way to communicate today.

Jay Hanson

Pastor, The Chapel, Brunswick GA

Mark's Gospel is known as "action-oriented.” Len Wilson presents it in a bite-sized format accessible to anyone who desires to grow in their faith. Wilson's study aims readers not to grow simply in Biblical knowledge, but the title says it all: More Like Jesus. If being More Like Jesus is your heart's desire, I encourage you to take Wilson's invitation through the Gospel of Mark.

Len Wilson has made a vocation of innovation. He is Jesus centered, intelligent, thoughtful and has a an abiding love for the Bible. I can’t wait to do a “slow walk” with him through Mark’s Gospel in 2025!
