In our second podcast episode, Gershon Nimbalker, National Director of Common Grace and Safina Stewart, Common Grace's Storyteller and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lead, discuss Jesus' encounter with the man with the shrivelled hand in Mark 3.

Together, they reflect on what it means for Jesus to centre someone who had been overlooked, challenge rigid religious systems, and choose life-giving love over rule-keeping. They wrestle with how compassion can be costly, how broken laws still harm vulnerable people today, and why following Jesus means not only personal transformation but courage to confront unjust structures. It’s a conversation about healing, stubborn hearts, hope, and the Church’s call to embody mercy, justice, and restoration in our world.
