Summary

In today’s episode, we’re looking at the story of a woman in Luke 8 who was healed of a physical illness. But Jesus did more than heal her physically. We’ll leave the details for the podcast, but Jesus stopped (in the middle of a pressing situation) and gave this woman more than she even knew to hope for. Jesus loved her too much to let her settle for mere physical healing. He wanted to take away her shame. Sometimes we ask Jesus for too little. Sometimes we come to Him for one thing but what we really need is something totally different. I hope today’s episode will encourage you to let Him have His way in your life. He knows what you need. Episode Points 1. God’s grace is not bound by time or location. 2. God’s grace can handle your whole truth. 3. God’s grace does more than we think we need. 4. The enemy comes to shame; Jesus comes to restore. Kelly’s first devotional book releases today, February 7th! The Blessed Life is for anyone willing to take a thoughtful, 90-day journey through the mind, heart, and work of Jesus. Check it out here. Scripture References Luke 8:40-48 Mark 5:33 1 John 1:9 How Do We Cultivate This in Our Lives? Take some time to reflect on these questions after you read the passage and listen to the podcast: • Are your expectations of God too low? • Does Jesus want to do more in your life than you want Him to? • Are you resisting Him? • Have you allowed Him to tend to all of you (your whole truth?) Stuff We Think You’ll Like In this episode, Kelly reads Day 81, “Taking Away Our Shame,” from her brand new book, The Blessed Life: A 90-Day Devotional Through the Teachings and Miracles of Jesus.

0:58.8	Yeah. Access more. Welcome to the Cultivate Podcast. I am Kelly Minter, and you guys, it is February. It is the most depressing month of the year. I hope you guys are loving it as much as I am. Actually, I don't mind February
1:06.9	because I'm kind of a winter person, but I was thinking about it the other day, and let's
1:11.1	just be real. Really, you know, March, depending on where you are in the country, that's kind of the
1:16.4	hope of spring. Then you get into spring in April and May, you've got the summer throughout June,
1:22.3	July, August. Then, of course, there's fall, there's football, then you start to get into the holidays. Then January
1:28.3	can be a little bit tough, but at least you've got New Year, you're at the top of the year,
1:31.7	it's incredible, and then February just kind of sits at like the end of winter, but not close
1:38.7	enough to the beginning of spring that, you know, it has too much meaning and everybody's just kind of over it in February.
1:46.2	And if you live in National Tennessee, it's never cold enough to snow, but it's cold enough to
1:52.3	rain and just be miserable. So anyway, welcome to February. I hope you guys are as excited
1:56.5	about it as I am. And, you know, I'm halfway tongue-in-cheek. I am actually, I'm having a good day,
2:02.6	and I'm especially excited because this is the month that I get to release my very first
2:11.7	devotional, The Bless Life. So it just released today, if you are listening at the actual drop date of the Cultivate
2:19.5	Podcast.
2:20.4	It's called The Blessed Life, a 90-day journey through the teachings and miracles of Jesus.
