Episode 25: Faith that Breaks Boundaries (The Canaanite Woman)

In Episode 25 of Walking Close, Living Changed, Brian continues his series on people who received immediate miracles from Jesus by exploring the remarkable faith of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15. Although she faced silence, rejection, cultural prejudice, and what appeared to be unanswered prayer, she refused to walk away.

Brian explains why Jesus ultimately praised her faith—not because she had perfect circumstances, but because she believed God's mercy was greater than every obstacle standing in her way. The episode encourages listeners to reject the lie that God plays favorites and to approach Him with persistent, confident faith.
