Ep. 129 | What Defiles a Person? | Focused on Christ Podcast🎙️ Hosted by Mike Crump | Featuring Pastor Nathan Smith

In this episode of Focused on Christ, we explore one of Jesus’ most powerful confrontations with the Pharisees in Mark 7. While Jesus is healing the sick and performing miracles, the Pharisees focus on one issue—ritual handwashing. But Jesus points to a far deeper truth: defilement comes not from what’s outside, but from within the heart.

🔍 We’ll discuss:

The context of Jesus’ ministry leading up to this moment
The Pharisees' obsession with tradition over truthWhat "Corban" reveals about hypocrisyJesus’ declaration that all foods are clean
A sobering list of what truly defiles us—and what that means for the church today

📢 Plus, an important summer update:We’ll be taking a short break in June and July for family milestones and ministry refreshment. We'll be back with new episodes starting August 5th—a perfect time to catch up on any episodes you’ve missed!
