Abstract
What did Jesus really teach about clean and unclean food? New Testament scholar Dr. Thomas Shepherd joins Joe Kidder to explore a frequently misunderstood passage in Mark 7. Together, they unpack what Jesus meant when He spoke about “defilement”, how it relates to traditions of the Pharisees, and whether He was setting aside Old Testament food laws. Along the way, they explore deeper questions about spiritual purity, our inner life, and what it means to honor God with both heart and habit.
