(I apologize for the audio quality this week. Good audio equipment makes a huge difference!)

In this week’s episode of Between Sundays, we reflect on two powerful healing stories from the Gospel of Mark—the paralyzed man lowered through the roof and the man with the withered hand healed in the synagogue.

These stories remind us that when Jesus brings healing, something else often gets disrupted. Systems, expectations, and traditions that once seemed unquestionable are challenged when compassion takes center stage.

Drawing on insights from theologian James H. Cone, this episode invites us to consider where healing is needed in our own lives and where love might be calling us to challenge patterns that keep people from flourishing.

You’ll also find a few simple reflection questions and practices to carry into the week—because discipleship doesn’t end on Sunday morning.

Where might God be bringing healing in your life—and what holy disruption might come with it?
