The 44
The 44 takes root through Matthew 4:4 - “Man cannot live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Each week we will feast on the words that come forth from the mouth of God by looking to the Bible.

In this episode, we unpack the meaning behind the song “There Is a Balm in Gilead” and the powerful Scripture it comes from in Jeremiah 8:22. Tracing the idea of “balm” through passages like Genesis and other places in Jeremiah, we discover it was a well-known source of healing yet it couldn’t fix the deeper spiritual problem God’s people faced. That tension points us to a greater truth: real healing isn’t found in earthly remedies, but in God Himself. This episode challenges us to move beyond just singing the words and actually seek the healing that’s been available all along.
