The transfiguration story in Mark 6 shows that while Jesus revealed his divine glory on the mountain to Peter, James, and John, the disciples who stayed behind in the valley were powerless to help those in need because they had not prayed or sought God’s presence. Jill urges believers to regularly “climb the mountain” for time alone with God, because only those strengthened by His glory can effectively minister to hurting people and confront an unbelieving generation.
