Jesus in a World That Doesn’t Believe

A February teaching series exploring how Jesus engaged unbelievers with compassion and truth—contrasted with America’s distorted “Christian nation” narrative.

Episode Description

In this episode, Jermaine Pearson explores the Syrophoenician woman’s bold, persistent faith in Mark 7. We examine why Jesus tests her, how she responds, and why her faith becomes a model for believers today. This episode confronts religious gatekeeping and calls listeners to embrace a faith that refuses to let go.

What We Talk About

• Why Jesus tests her faith with a metaphor
• The power of persistent prayer
• How desperation reveals genuine belief
• Why Jesus honors outsider faith
• How American Christianity gatekeeps what Jesus freely gives

Questions Answered

• Why did Jesus speak to her the way He did?
• What does persistent faith look like?
• How does this story confront religious exclusivity?
• What does this teach us about prayer and spiritual warfare?

Key Takeaways

• Jesus honors persistent, humble, desperate faith.
• Outsiders often demonstrate greater hunger than insiders.
• The kingdom is open to those who refuse to let go.
• Faith grows in tension, not comfort.

Practical Application

Bring one desperate prayer back to God this week. Press in again. Don’t quit.
