29min | 09/21/2025

Description

Joan and Damian are finally up to reading chapter 2, where Jesus gets stuck into healing people. They discuss big themes like sin, paralysis, dissociation and restoration that come along with healing. Damian's not convinced about the physical healing stuff, but they psychological healing makes lots of sense.

About Untangled

This is a podcast for the Bible curious.

Each week Joan will give Damian a passage to read from the bible and they’ll just talk about it.

At their heart, religions promote connection, each offering a unique path toward unity in life in God.

Here’s a place to untangle stories from the Christian Scripture.

Joan and Damian grew up next door to each other in Melbourne’s inner north. 50 years later, they are still great mates and like to chat about all things deep and meaningful.

Joan has read the bible loads of times. She grew up on bible stories, became a church minister, learned from biblical scholars, read books, writes sermons and has been immersed in theological reflections for years.

Damian has never read the bible. He ran an IT business and has been highly suspicious of religion. After a mid-life direction change, Damian retrained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist.
