Mark 9:14-29 Podcast

In this episode, we unpack the dramatic and emotional story of a father crying out to Jesus, “I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). Coming down from the mountain of glory, Jesus enters the valley of need—where His disciples have just failed to cast out a demon, and a desperate man is clinging to hope.

We’ll focus on three key themes:

The context of the passage coming right after the Transfiguration

The raw and relatable faith of the father

Why Jesus says, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer”

Along the way, we talk about what this story reveals about spiritual dependence, discipleship, and what it means to truly trust God when life feels out of control.
