Episode 522 Healing Interrupted (Mark 5:21-43)

This week BibleWorm reads Mark 5:21-43, two very different stories of miraculous healing that are intertwined in the way maybe all of our lives are. One, a girl at the threshold of womanhood, and at the threshold of death. The other, a woman who has been hemorrhaging for 12 years - the entirety of the girl’s life.  The stories made us wonder about the flow of faith in the world, in us and between us. They made us question our sense of what is truly urgent, and reflect on the factors in our minds as we make that determination over and over again in our own lives. And at the end of the day, they reminded us that the miracle of these stories is a restoration to everyday life in our bodies and in our communities. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that these things alone are a miracle.
