Lee C. Camp here. If you've been enjoying this show, I think you might enjoy my podcast, No Small

Endeavor, produced by Great Feeling Studios and PRX. No Small Endeavor explores what it means to live a good

life. We sit down with courageous, impassioned people like actor Martin Sheen or civil rights

hero James Lawson to ask what it means to live a life

Jesus heals a paralyzed man from Mark.

A few days later, when Jesus again entered Copernum, the people heard that he had come

home. They gathered in such large numbers that there

was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came,
