What do these three have in common: casting out a demon, driving out a fever, and calming a storm? In each of these stories, Jesus rebukes the things that are tormenting us, causing our suffering, or filling us with fear. Jesus has already done the hardest part – now it’s our turn to respond in faith.
Jesus’ public ministry is off to a rough start. He’s making friends and healing people and drawing crowds, but he’s also drawing criticism and accusations. Things get real about who he is and what he’s here to do. Listen in.
We are continuing through the Gospel–the story of the Good News of Jesus–according to Luke, and we are asking the question: who is Jesus?
We begin with the Gospel according to Luke, and things take a sudden, unexpected turn as we learn there’s more than meets the eye in these first few paragraphs. In this episode, we’ll hear divine messages about impossible pregnancies. But that’s not even the most important thing—we’ll discover where and to whom God chooses to go, and what’s required to get there. Whether you’re new to Jesus and the Bible or have studied and believed your whole life, there’s something for you here.

PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy
Summary: This introductory episode lays out the vision for this project–to bring a word of hope to those who are perhaps disenchanted with organized Christianity. You’ll hear reflections on what it means to be a “minister-at-large” in the world, untethered to an institution, but still deeply rooted in Christian faith and my heritage in Churches of Christ. You’ll hear my vision for continuing to dwell in the Word and in the world on behalf of God’s people, and bring a Spirit-breathed word–through this podcast! This is a message of hope — for you who are far away and you who are near. Listen in.
