Possessed!

In this episode we reflect on a Gospel passage in which Jesus encountered a person afflicted with a demon. We explore what might possess us that prevents us from healthy living. What is it that releases these addictions?

Listening for Clues invites you into conversations that discover clues, rather than solutions to life’s problems. Together, from our own life experiences, we look for clues that help guide us meaningfully, as we continue to deal with challenges and issues in our daily lives, through the lens of faith.

Episodes in our third series, "Powerful Love: Healing Miracles of Jesus" reflect on how Divine love, love for one another and love for ourselves can be pathways to healing. Join the journey with Jon Shematek and Lauren Welch, Episcopal deacons, as we explore whatever lies ahead. Visit us at listeningforclues.com or send a message to listeningforclues@gmail.com
