The study we are in now vol. 18 Winter 2026 Just Women, Living the Abundant Life is sold out. But don't let that stop you!
This month’s study from the Just Women is brought to us by Rev. April Johnson the title of her work is Wholeness Restored: The Interplay of Healing and Salvation in Luke 8:43 to 48.
Her questions to ponder are:
Agency and Confession
The woman's public confession is described as an act of reclaiming agency. How does confession function both personally and communally in this story?
How might public acknowledgment of our own frailty or need become a source of healing for others?
Healing and Salvation as Ongoing Practices
3. Luke collapses the line between healing and salvation with the word sozo. What does it mean to understand salvation as an ongoing practice rather than a one-time event?
The Role of Community
4. How does Jesus's insistence on making the healing public invite the community into the woman's wholeness?
If you don't have a Just Women, read the scripture and the questions and join us at 9: 00 from your home, car, or wherever you are, Saturday September 26th with a cup of your favorite brew for an hour of connecting sharing and reflecting.
