Jesus Confronts Our “If” With His “Anything” | Mark 9:23–24
About This Video
On the heels of the Transfiguration, Jesus walks straight into chaos, disciples arguing, a desperate father, a suffering son. The father’s plea: “If you can do anything…”, meets Jesus’ answer: “If you can? Everything is possible for the one who believes.” The man’s raw reply: “I do believe; help my unbelief”, isn’t disqualifying; it’s the doorway. In this teaching, we explore the valley moments where belief and doubt coexist, why Jesus prizes honest faith over perfect faith, and how this changes the way we lead at home and at work. You’ll get a practical framework for naming your “ifs,” leaning on God’s “anything,” and building cultures of courageous honesty. Your “if” is never stronger than His “anything.” Takeaways -Honest faith over performative certainty -Bring both belief and doubt to Jesus: He works with both -Identity of witness beats activity of image management -Vulnerability builds trust (in homes, teams, and boardrooms) -Start local, let faith reshape your nearest circle first Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life, then pray the simple prayer today: “I do believe, help my unbelief.” Tell one trusted person where you’re asking God to meet your “if” with His “anything.” What’s the “if” you’re bringing to Jesus this week, and where do you need His “anything”?
