E8: What makes healing possible?

29min | 10/12/2025

Description

From parables in the last chapter, this chapter is all about healing. Jesus heals three people. A legion of demons possesses a guy who doesn't want to be healed, but is healed when Jesus puts the demons into a herd of pigs; a woman reaches out and is healed by just touching Jesus; and a girl wakes up from her deathbed when her dad pleads for help. How does Jesus do it? What makes healing possible? Joan talks theology, and Damian connects with the psychological healing that happens when people become free.

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.
