Isolated. Rejected. Forced to announce his brokenness everywhere he goes. But when he risks everything to get close to Jesus, one touch changes everything.\n\nThis message isn’t just about physical healing—it’s about what Jesus does with shame.\n\nIn Week 2 of Bankrupt the Grave, we discover that Jesus doesn’t create distance from broken people—He closes it. He touches what others avoid, restores what shame has stolen, and brings dignity back to lives marked by rejection.\n\nIn this message, you’ll learn:\n\nWhy leprosy was about more than sickness—it was about shame\n\nHow desperation can become a doorway to healing\n\nWhy we hide what others once had to shout\n\nHow Jesus confronts shame by closing the distance\n\nWhy healing always leads to restoration and belonging\n\nIf you’ve been hiding, managing, or masking your pain—this message is an invitation to get close.\nBecause where Jesus is, healing happens."}
