Healing is a concept much bigger than we imagine. Join Jim and Georges as they kick off a new series on Jesus' healing ministry, exploring powerful biblical imagery—from rivers of life to the concept of the "wounded healer"—that shows God's comprehensive plan for spiritual and physical wholeness.

The hosts discuss how the words for "salvation" in both Greek and Hebrew inherently contain a healing component. They establish Jesus as "the wounded healer," emphasizing that His suffering had a purpose to alleviate ours and bring healing. Healing, whether physical, spiritual, intellectual, or emotional, served as a sign of His messiahship and the arrival of the Kingdom of God.

Is life inherently difficult? In this concluding episode of their series, Jim and George tackle the challenging but essential spiritual practice of Embracing Suffering as Redemptive. Discover why suffering gains meaning in the Christian life because of Jesus, how embracing the universality of suffering allows us to transcend it, and what it means to complete the sufferings of Christ in our own lives.

We often score well on teachings about individual prayer, but is there a “road less traveled” that Jesus and the early church modeled that we are neglecting today? Discover how returning to a corporate, communal approach to prayer, defined as communing with God and joining Him in His work, can be a transformative and enlivening part of your daily rhythm.
