Why Jesus is Magnetized to Broken People | The Gospels | Luke 5:27–39
06:53 | 03-26-2026
Why do we assume Jesus wants the cleaned-up version of us? Why do we hide our wounds, sin, and shame from him? What if the very places we want to conceal are the places Jesus most wants to heal? In today’s episode, Patrick shares how Jesus’s call to Levi and his willingness to sit at the table with tax collectors and sinners reveal that he comes not for the healthy but as a royal healer for the sick.
