About this episode

Rabbi David discusses the importance of setting boundaries and being selectively permeable in our spiritual lives, drawing lessons from Matthew 15 and the example of Yeshua.

Healthy cells have something important: a good membrane.They don’t let everything in.Maybe that’s a lesson for us, too. In this week’s message from Matthew 15, we explore how Yeshua held boundaries, showed compassion, and responded to people’s expectations with wisdom. Because sometimes the most spiritual prayer might be:“Lord, help me to be selectively permeable.” Check out our latest sermon from Rabbi David: “How to Be a Cell Membrane.”
