They Call Me Mista Yu

The tension between belief and unbelief forms the backbone of this deeply personal exploration of Matthew 13:58 – a scripture that reveals how Jesus couldn't perform many mighty works in his hometown because people refused to believe. This paradox launches us into a raw conversation about how perception shapes our reality and potential.

Growing up in Brooklyn during its most dangerous era, I've faced countless moments where others placed a ceiling on what I could achieve based solely on where I came from. "Can anything good come out of Brooklyn?" becomes the modern equivalent of the biblical "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" – both questions reflecting how familiarity and preconceived notions can breed contempt rather than support. When people get too familiar with you – whether family, friends, or colleagues – they often cap your trajectory, deciding what you can and cannot do based on their limited perception of who you are.

The episode culminates with a powerful testimony of modern miracles I recently witnessed – three friends with legs of uneven lengths experiencing real-time healing during a service, fully documented on video. What struck me most wasn't just the miracles themselves, but watching people I've known for years observe these supernatural events with stone faces, unable to accept what was happening before their eyes. This mirrors exactly what Jesus must have experienced among his hometown crowd. The greatest barriers to experiencing the miraculous often aren't external circumstances but our internal resistance to believing extraordinary things can happen to ordinary people from ordinary places. What miracle might you be blocking in your own life because of unbelief? Perhaps it's time to stop letting others' perceptions determine your limitations and start embracing the supernatural possibilities waiting just beyond your doubt.
