Join Susan Downie for a short quiet-time episode as she reads Mark 10:46–52 and reflects on the healing of Bartimaeus—his plea for mercy, instant restoration, and the call to follow Jesus. Through personal stories about daily micro-decisions, perception, and care work, Susan ties the ancient miracle to modern life, urging listeners to throw off what weighs them down and choose mercy. Concludes with prayer and an invitation to continue the journey in the next episode.
