If I Can Just Touch the Hem — The Healing Power of Christ

Hosts: Reverend Ben Cooper & Guest Panel
Scripture Focus: Luke 8:43–48

Welcome back to another powerful episode of our Bible study podcast. Today, we dive into one of the most faith-stirring miracles in the New Testament—the story of the woman with the issue of blood, found in Luke 8:43–48. This is more than just a story of physical healing—it’s a testimony of desperate faith, divine power, and personal restoration through Jesus Christ the Healer.

Reverend Ben Cooper guides us through this deeply moving passage that highlights the miraculous touch of Jesus and the unwavering belief of a woman who had suffered for twelve years. In a time when society cast her aside, her faith moved her toward Christ—not with a shout, but with a whisper: “If I can just touch the hem of His garment, I will be healed.”

This episode explores:

• The cultural and spiritual context of her condition
• Why her bold action defied social norms and religious restrictions
• How Jesus' response reveals His compassion and divinity
• The deeper message of identity, dignity, and restoration in Christ

As Reverend Ben unpacks these truths, listeners are invited to examine their own level of faith and hope. The woman didn’t need recognition—she needed a breakthrough. And in one single moment, with one simple touch, she received complete healing.

We reflect on how this miracle still speaks today. No matter how long you've suffered, no matter how isolated you feel, and no matter what the world says about your worth—Jesus sees you, hears you, and can heal you. His power is not limited by time, diagnosis, or circumstance.

Are you carrying something for years? Is your heart crying out for healing? Then this episode is for you. Whether your struggle is physical, emotional, or spiritual, let this teaching renew your faith in the One who restores all things.

At the heart of the message is this truth: Jesus Christ is still the healer. He’s still accessible. And sometimes, all it takes is the courage to reach for the hem of His garment. The Bible
