The Dirt is on the Inside || Mark 7:14-23

How do we become impure? Jesus answers this question in Mark 7:14-23, the passage explored in today’s episode. Earlier in Mark 7, the Pharisees accuse Jesus and his disciples of being defiled because they did not properly wash their hands according to tradition. In this passage, Jesus responds to that accusation by revealing that we are not defiled by outward things, but by what comes from within. True defilement comes from the heart, from which sinful thoughts and actions flow out. Listen to this episode as we explore how Jesus reveals the real source of impurity and what it means for us today.
