Season 3, Episode 30: Medicine for the Marginalized

Humans can be brutal; we marginalize people, mocking and judging them for their flaws. But when someone acknowledges their imperfections and admits them to Jesus—like the woman in Luke 7 who weeps at his feet—something downright counter-cultural happens. Join Rick as he dives into her story, and invites us into a discussion about Jesus' unexpected response to imperfect and marginalized people…including us. Also in the episode, Rick interviews Emma Mae Jenkins, a teenager who is determined to wear the marginalization she’s faced as a badge of honor. Have you joined the Pigs? We're a group of friends ready to go all in with Jesus--to live a life that's “free indeed” because we’re wholly dependent on him. Join us for exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, opportunities to make your voice matter, prayer support, and connections to other Pigs inside our private Facebook group.
