Episode Synopsis

Series: Core ChristianitySpeaker: Pastor James GallaherIn This Episode:The laying on of hands isn’t just for pastors. It’s a core part of how the Church functions—with healing, blessing, affirmation, and commissioning. But somewhere along the way, we outsourced it to the “professionals.” This message reclaims the simplicity, humility, and spiritual power of this biblical act—calling every believer to be the hands of Jesus in a world desperate for a touch from the Father.Main Idea:The laying on of hands isn’t mystical—it’s foundational. It’s how we bless, heal, restore, and affirm one another in the name of Jesus.Key Themes:The biblical pattern of laying on handsBlessing, healing, commissioning, and affirmationWhy Jesus made this part of His ministryBarriers that keep us from engaging (pride, pain, fear, busyness)How to begin walking in this call as a follower of ChristScripture References:Hebrews 6:1–2Luke 4:40Matthew 19:13–15Acts 6:6; 13:2–3Mark 10:161 Timothy 4:14Numbers 27:18–23
