Ep. 15 | Diving Deeper - Gospel Reading with Bethany and Adam
In this short and powerful episode of All Things Possible, Bethany and Adam dive into a chapter from Scandalous Stories by Daniel Emery Price and Eric Sorensen, reflecting on one of the most raw and redemptive moments in Scripture—Jesus’ dinner with a Pharisee and a sinful woman.
With a mix of laughter, tears, and truth, Adam reads the chapter “Every Pharisee Needs a Prostitute,” followed by heartfelt reflections from both him and Bethany. Together, they unpack what it means to be both sinner and saint, to sit at the table of grace no matter your past, and to let go of self-righteousness in favor of true forgiveness.
If you’ve ever felt like your sins are too great—or your pride too hidden—this episode is for you.
