Carrying Your Friends to Jesus: Episode #42 of The Martha and Mary Show

Carrying Friends to Jesus Martha Mary Show podcast Katie Reid Jenn Hand

Our family has so enjoyed watching The Chosen (Bible mini-series). Have you seen it? There is a powerful scene, portrayed in Episode 6, of the paralytic’s friends lowering him through the roof, in an effort to bring him to Jesus for healing.

We encourage you to read Luke 5:17-26 and watch that scene before listening to this week’s podcast.

Listen to the latest episode over here, on our podcast webpage, or access Episode #42 on your favorite podcast app.

We are not the Savior, but we can point others to the Savior. #marthamaryshow @comingalivejenn Share on X

Show Notes for Episode #42: Carrying Your Friends to Jesus

Through the story of the paralytic, personal examples, and a reminder about our role and Jesus’ role in the process, you will be encouraged to be a good friend to those around you.
