Set right after Jesus' teaching on ritual purity, this story reveals a radical, boundary-breaking faith that confronts social hierarchies, prejudice, and human expectations [00:26].Discover how a mother's desperate love and unrelenting faith allowed her to glimpse the Kingdom of God—and what it teaches us about overcoming the barriers in our own lives today [04:22].
