What Goes In vs. What Comes Out: Faith, Science, and Matthew 15:11
In this episode of the Big Bethel A.M.E. Church Intergenerational Sunday School Podcast, we explore the wisdom of God’s Word through the lens of both faith and science. Our featured guest, Dr. Tracey Ragsdale — a physician and woman of faith — helps us unpack the health practices found in Leviticus and how they reveal God’s care for His people: rest for mothers, the timing of circumcision on the eighth day, and dietary laws that safeguarded communities.
But the lesson doesn’t end there. We turn to the words of Jesus in Matthew 15:11: “It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth.” Together, we reflect on how true holiness is not measured by what we consume, but by the words we speak and the love we show.
