Why Did Jesus Heal The Blind?

IN THIS EPISODE: Why did Jesus heal people with disabilities and what does that mean for us today? In this episode, Tyler, Maron, and Barry unpack Matthew 9:27–34, where Jesus heals two blind men in a culture that saw disability as shameful. But the story raises deeper questions: Why do healing stories cause discomfort in the modern disability community? If healing is tied to faith, what does that imply for people today who aren’t healed? Why does Jesus sometimes mention forgiving sins and sometimes not? Does physical healing imply something was broken before and how does that affect our theology of wholeness? We also explore the 3 R’s of application from the sermon: Remember those the world has forgotten, Reject the values of our broken world, and Receive the mercy of our Savior. Watch as we dig into ancient shame culture, contractual theology, and how the church can faithfully preach healing without unintentionally reinforcing harmful assumptions. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:09 - What's New with the Gang 00:44 - Pacers NBA Finals Loss & Family Reactions 15:05 - Transition to Sermon Discussion 20:00 - Disability, Healing, and Ancient Context 27:27 - Faith, Healing, and Discomfort 32:22 - Theology of Healing & Faith 36:36 - Prophecy, Inclusion, and New Creation 42:59 - Jesus, Context, and Social Inclusion 46:21 - Healing, Wholeness, and Social Models 52:24 - Remembering the Forgotten & Mercy 56:36 - Rejecting Broken World Values 01:03:09 - Receiving Mercy & Contractual Theology 01:06:21 - Where Do We Go Next? 🎙️ ABOUT THE SHOW: Church services happen on weekends.
