    35 | 🫤 No faith required
    Mar 18 2026
    A lot of people contend that the greatest force in the universe is faith— or a lack of it. That is empowers (or constrains) what God is able to do. So, let’s talk about it… … and address it as it relates to health + healing. 🛠️ First, it’s easy to turn faith into a “work” that we must do in order to earn God’s favor / blessing. If we do that, though, we’ve made healing an allowance, a paycheck, a transaction… This leads us to our second observation. 📦 Second, there’s no “box or formula” in the New Testament regarding faith. When we open the New Testament (remember, Jesus shows us what the Father is like, as we discussed in the previous episode), we see that there’s “no box or formula” we can fit faith into-- There’s no: This type of issue + this much faith = breakthrough. For example, in the Bible we see instances of Jesus healing people with the following SEVEN varying degrees of faith... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1️⃣ No faith John 5:1f., Man at Bethsaida, lame for 38 years. Matthew 8:15f., Simon Peter’s mother-in-law, fever. 2️⃣ Partial faith Mark 9:24, “I believe, help my unbelief,” cries father of the demon-possessed boy; disciples are chastised. Matthew 8:2, Leper approaches Jesus: “If you are willing...” 3️⃣ Total faith Matthew 9:18, Jairus tells Jesus to lay His hand on his sick daughter and she will live. Mark 7:24, Syro-Phonecian woman has her daughter healed of a demon. Her faith is commended. Luke 8:48, Woman with flow of blood: “If I touch His garment...” Matthew 9:29, Two blind men, “According to the faith.” *Side note: the only time Jesus healed someone “according to their faith” was when they had TOTAL faith. 4️⃣ Other people’s faith Mark 2:1f., A paralytic is healed after his friends drop him through the roof and Jesus sees “their faith.” Luke 7:1-9, Roman centurion, “Say the word...” (also, total faith). 5️⃣ Silent about faith Meaning: the Bible doesn’t address it, so we don’t know… Luke 13:12, Woman bent over for 18 years, cannot stand straight. 6️⃣ Sometimes backed by action Luke 17:14f., the lepers are healed “as they went” 7️⃣ Setup for sovereign intervention… We don’t always have a reason “why” something occurred. We know, as we discussed in the previous talk, that God doesn’t cause chaos or confusion. He doesn’t inflict His children with illness. John 9:1-7, the disciples ask about a man born blind. They want to know who sinned to cause it (a prevalent thought back then, too, apparently). Jesus tells them “no one.” Then, He suggests this is a time and place where God will break-in and do something extraordinary… 👇 Now, Jesus did REBUKE someone about their lack of faith… He criticized the disciples who were told to minister healing- and had previously been empowered to do it- and done it. He did not chastise those who needed ministry. The Father clearly has wavering faith, further adding emphasis to this point (see Mark 9:23-25) ⭐️ Third, the bigger issue, greater than faith, seems to be honor… Some people point to Nazareth (Jesus’ hometown, where they had “little faith” and He was “restrained” from performing miracles) as an example of the definitive need for faith. But it was not a lack of faith that restrained Jesus from working miracles in his hometown of Nazareth (see Mark 6:1f., Luke 4:16f.). Honor seems to be more important than faith. There was no honor present in His hometown (Mark 6:4, Luke 4:24). He was unable to do many miracles there (Mark 6:5). We assume He was unable to perform mighty works there because of the faith issue. Notice what Mark writes, though: “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown” (6:4). Then- “And He marveled because of their unbelief” (6:6). In other words, Mark seems to tell us, “In addition... He also was shocked because...” The issue that restrained Him was not a “faith issue” but an “honor issue.” _________________ Links referenced Take a deeper dive at the GY6 website: www.GY6.online See The Healing Workshop, on-demand course = www.Jenkins.tv/THW Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV Grab the digital bundle (eBook + audiobook) = www.Jenkins.tv/SW One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC Past episodes, related to this one: ⏮️ Go back to the previous talk, episode 34, 🧐 What God is like 💥 You might not need a miracle, episode 6 = https://www.jenkins.tv/podcasts/podcast-version-2-0/episodes/2149079766

  • 34 | 🧐 What God is like

    34 | 🧐 What God is like
    Mar 11 2026

    Somebody told me, “I love Jesus but I hate theology.”

    What a dumb statement.

    Theology actually is “what we think about God when we think about God.”

    Or, to say it another way, that statement suggest God isn’t worth thinking about…

    🙈


    Plus, each day we practically live out what we truly believe about people, places, our possessions, and… yes… even Providence.

    So, let’s dialogue about it and dial it in…

    … especially since we’re midstream into a longer conversation about health / healing.

    What we think about God (theology) has everything to do with how we “go after” healing the hurts of the past and step into our purpose.

    💥


    Three things to “think” about God…


    1️⃣ Jesus shows us what God is like.

    Scripture tells us He is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), that He is the “perfect imprint” of the Father (Hebrews 1:3), and that He did / said what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19).

    Jack Frost writes, “Jesus came to demonstrate who the Father is and what He is like, and He does so through His words and His actions. To gain a true picture of Father’s feelings toward His children, it is best to turn to the One whose purpose it was to show us the Father. Jesus spent three years in ministry, demonstrating His Father’s heart of compassion as He forgave sinners, healed the sick, and raised the dead.”

    2️⃣ Jesus explains what this means…

    We can tell what God is like based on what Jesus did…

    … and what He did NOT do.

    That is, if we’ve seen Jesus, according to His own declaration, we’ve seen what God is like (John 14:9-10).

    Two quotes…

    Jack Frost: “Jesus came to demonstrate who the Father is and what He is like, and He does so through His words and His actions…”

    Jack Deere: “All too often, many of God’s children mistakingly assume that their afflictions are evidence of God’s judgment on them.”

    3️⃣ This shifts our practical experience of God / our ongoing relationship with Him…

    … and it’s a radical overhaul of what many people (church-attending Christians, even) actually believe. Especially about causing illness and condemning people.

    👇

    Causing illness-- we never see this, even though expressions like, “God gave me ____________” (insert disease) or “God chose me for ______________” (insert the ailment) are popular. Others say things like, “God gave me ____________ to humble me / teach me a lesson, etc.” But, we never see this in the life of Jesus.

    Jesus never caused sickness- we never seen an instance of Him causing someone to be ill.

    The Bible tells us this: Jesus went about healing everyone (i.e., Matthew 4:23, Matthew 12:15). We’ll answer this dilemma in two episodes… in the next, we need to discuss the proper place of faith.

    Jesus actually used these healing miracles to confirm His identity- not call it into question (see Luke 9:2, Luke 10:9).

    👇

    Condemning people-- we never see an instance of it.

    Jesus preached grace and freedom to the woman caught in adultery- because that’s what He saw the Father doing (John 8:3f.).

    Jesus touched the leper rather than simply healing Him with a word- because that’s what He saw the Father doing (Mark 1:41).

    Jesus ate with the tax collectors and sinners- because that’s what He saw the Father doing (see Mark 2:15).

    ✅

    Bottom line….

    Jesus is the ideal “study of God.”

    Or, to say it another way, Jesus is perfect theology.

    33 | ⏱️Now and later
    Mar 4 2026

    It’s easy to start punting the promises of God off into the future— even as far as the after-life. Especially after we’ve faced a few tough seasons, several rough / busted-up relationships, and a bunch of broken dreams…

    But the promises of God— though we won’t fully experience them until the future— are ALSO good for now.

    Let me explain…

    👇


    To do so, we need to discuss redemption.

    The word means freedom— freedom from slavery, to be exact.

    We don’t think about it too much in our culture, but when you go back into the Biblical times in which the word was first used (speaking of what God promised to do for the Hebrew slaves in Egypt, see Exodus 6:6, Exodus 15:13), the word means much.

    And, the concept of—

    ⛓️‍💥 rescue

    ⛓️‍💥 release

    ⛓️‍💥 restoration

    — it’s something we all long for.

    Scripture tells us Jesus is our redeemer, the one who sets us free.

    Moreover, He is OBJECTIVE in His redemption— while also maintaining a subjective unique relationship with each of us.
    
Here’s what I mean: when sacrifices were offered, God didn’t judge the perfection of the sacrificer, He judged the merit of the sacrifice itself. In fact, the person’s credentials were of no consequence— only the offering they made (had to be “without spot or blemish”).

    

    Jesus redeems our whole person…

    … and our whole situation.

    In fact, He’s currently working on a cosmic redemption— at a level we can’t fathom.

    (Or, to say it another way, He’s been far more successful in the past than we typically think, and He’s orchestrating something much more massive than we’ve been taught to expect.)

    ❤️‍🔥

    On a personal level…

    … where we are now.

    It’s an invitation to wholeness and healing. Something that infuses every area of our lives and then overflows into the world around us.
