In this episode, Alex and Noel reflect on the final passage of James and an unusually powerful weekend marked by prayer, confession, and people responding together in community. They talk about why physical expression in worship can be meaningful without becoming performative, how Riv approaches anointing with oil, and how to think about miraculous experiences through the framework of Scripture. Noel also explains how confession can break the cycle of sin, shame, and isolation, and why every follower of Jesus can pray as someone made righteous in Christ. They close by looking back at James as a book filled not just with commands, but with grace, joy, and a call to pursue people who are drifting.
