Matthew 15 - The Right Kind of Persistence

Matthew 15: Traditions, True Defilement, and Unyielding Faith

In this episode, I dive into Matthew 15, exploring which traditions we should hold onto and which we should challenge. I discuss Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees about hand-washing rituals and true defilement, emphasizing that what defiles a person comes from the heart, not external actions. I also cover Jesus' interaction with a Canaanite woman who displays unyielding faith, and His miracles of healing and feeding thousands. Join me as we continue our slow roll through the Bible, one chapter at a time.
