episode John: More Than Physical Healing at the Pool of Bethesda cover

Description

This week on the Sunday Monday Podcast, we step into John 5 and the story of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda where a man who had been waiting 38 years for healing. Susan Elsmore joins the conversation to unpack this passage with Brad, Sam, and Lauren. Together they explore the heartbreak of long waiting, the reality of healing, and the deeper restoration Jesus always has in view. The conversation also wrestles honestly with questions many of us carry: Why does God heal instantly sometimes, but not always? What does faith look like when healing takes time? And how do we keep praying, trusting, and noticing the many ways God is still at work? Key themes include: - The pain, disappointment, and hope carried by the man at Bethesda - The deeply human, compassionate way Jesus engages people - Healing in different forms: instant miracles, medicine, treatment, and ultimate healing in eternity - Why Jesus cares not just about physical healing, but spiritual healing - Why follow-up matters as we care for others #SundayMondayPodcast #GospelOfJohn #John5 #Bethesda #Healing #Jesus #ChristianPodcast #GatewayBaptistChurch #Faith #Prayer
