Anyone Can Get In On This

Mar 1, 2026    Paul Stiver

In a world that values inclusion, the words of Jesus in Mark 7, spoken to a desperate mom, come off as harsh and even offensive to us. However, if we push past our initial response and do the work of digging in to understand what's happening, this passage unlocks a beautiful truth about the gospel that transcends our greatest hopes for what inclusion might look like. We see that anyone can get in on this, but not in the way we might expect.
