Welcome to Bible Stories for the Lame! This isn’t your average Bible study—this is where we take the stories you’ve heard a million times but maybe never really understood, break them down, and make them make sense. No theology degree required.
In this episode, we’re diving into Luke 7:36-50, where a woman crashes a Pharisee’s dinner party, cries all over Jesus’ feet, wipes them with her hair, and pours out expensive perfume in an act of radical worship. If this happened today, it would 100% go viral. But what’s really going on here? What does it tell us about grace, worship, and how we approach Jesus? Let’s get into it.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Why we call this podcast Bible Stories for the Lame
- The cultural shock factor behind this story—why the woman’s actions were scandalous
- How Jesus flips the script on holiness and forgiveness
- Why reckless worship (in the best way) is what Jesus desires
- The difference between the Pharisee’s self-righteousness and the woman’s surrender
Lame Takeaway:
Jesus isn’t impressed by how ‘put together’ we look—He’s moved by hearts that recognize their need for Him.
