In this episode, we reflect on a simple but powerful truth of the gospel: God’s holiness is not weakened by our brokenness—it overcomes it.
After a weekend volleyball tournament with my daughter and her team, sickness began to spread. It reminded me of an assumption we all live with—that when something clean touches something dirty, the clean becomes contaminated.
But Scripture tells a very different story.
In the kingdom of God, when the dirty touches the clean, the dirty becomes clean.
We explore how Jesus consistently turned this assumption upside down—how He didn’t avoid broken people, but moved toward them. From the plank in our own eye, to the basin of dirty water at His feet, to the leper He touched and healed, we see that holiness isn’t fragile and grace isn’t threatened.
Under the Old Testament sacrificial system, God asked for the first and best—not because He needed it, but because the clean made the unclean acceptable. That same truth finds its fulfillment in Jesus, who doesn’t require us to clean ourselves up before coming to Him.
You come as you are—and His holiness does the work.
