Listen Later

In this episode Pastor Jason addresses a question about the biblical practice of laying on of hands. He traces its roots from Old Testament sacrifices and rabbinic ordination through Jesus' healings in the Gospels and the Acts example of Ananias restoring Saul's sight. Jason explains the practice as an expression of presence and identification — being with someone in their need — and discusses why it’s less common today (awkwardness, boundaries, and technology).
