The Roman Centurion

What kind of faith actually moves Jesus?

In this episode of Jesus Encounters from See Hear Love, we unpack Luke 7:1–10 and the powerful story of a Roman centurion whose faith stood out above everyone else.

This man wasn’t part of the “in crowd.” He wasn’t a religious leader. In fact, he was seen as an outsider. Yet, when his servant was near death, he approached Jesus with something rare—humility and complete trust. He didn’t demand a miracle. He didn’t even feel worthy to meet Jesus face to face. He simply believed that if Jesus spoke, it would be done.

And that’s what amazed Jesus.

In this conversation, we break down what made his faith so different, why Jesus highlighted it in front of everyone, and what it means for us today. It challenges the idea that faith is about being deserving or having everything together. Instead, it points to a deeper trust—one that lets go of control and fully relies on God’s authority.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, felt unworthy, or tried to control outcomes in your life, this message will hit home.
