223: Opened Ears, Loosened Tongues, and a Deeper Message
💬 What do miracles really mean—and why doesn’t Jesus want people talking about them?
In this revealing episode of the Talkin’ Bible podcast, Rohan Bell and Jeff Baxter unpack a short but striking passage from Mark 7:31–37. As Jesus heals a deaf and mute man in an unexpected way, the guys explore what these miraculous signs say about who Jesus is—and how He wants to work in our lives today.
📖 From spitting and sighing to silencing the crowd, there’s more happening here than meets the eye.
➡️ In this episode, we unpack:
Why Jesus heals the man in private—and what that says about His heart
The layered reasons Jesus performs miracles (spoiler: it’s not just compassion)
How this miracle ties into Old Testament prophecy and messianic identity
Why some people get healed and still walk away, while others encounter Jesus fully
What it means to say, “Even if He never does another thing, He’s still worthy”
💡 “Jesus is prepared to inconvenience Himself for people—and that’s good news for all of us.”
🙋‍♂️ Reflection questions:
Do I treat miracles as the goal, or as an invitation into something deeper with Jesus?
Where have I seen God’s kindness in my life—even if it didn’t look how I expected?
Am I following Jesus because He’s useful or because He’s Lord?
