When Despair Meets the Resurrection | Mark 5:21-43 | Austin Glenn | Mark: Living for the King in Light of the Cross

About this episode

This episode explores how despair can lead to hope through the stories of a desperate father and a suffering woman who encounter Jesus's healing power.

What if your deepest despair was actually setting the stage for your greatest hope? In this week's Easter teaching, we unpack the stories of a desperate father and a suffering woman who both encounter the restoring power of Jesus. From illness and isolation to fear and death, their stories reveal a truth we all feel: no one escapes the brokenness of this world. But Jesus doesn't just meet us in our pain—He overcomes it.
