A Rabbi, a Priest and a minister walk into a bar …   Now that we have your attention, it was actually, a Syrophoenician who walked up to Jesus and the disciples and started shouting, “Have mercy on me Lord!” The thing is, Jesus didn’t respond the way we might expect. Only through the woman’s persistence in the face of rejection did Jesus have a change of heart and listen to what she had to say.  This week, join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they look at the more “fully human” side of this fully human/fully divine man we call Jesus. See what can happen when we don’t give up easily when seeking what is right.
