In Episode 103 of Bible StudTea, we’re spilling the tea on one of the most powerful yet often overlooked moments in the ministry of Jesus. In Matthew 9:1–8, a paralyzed man is brought to Jesus—not by his own strength, but by the faith of his friends. What happens next shocks everyone in the room.

Before Jesus heals the man’s body, He addresses something deeper: his sin.

This episode explores the connection between faith, forgiveness, healing, and the authority of Jesus. We’ll unpack why Jesus forgave sins before performing the miracle, what it means when others carry us in faith, and how religious pride can cause people to miss what God is doing right in front of them.

If you’ve ever needed healing, freedom, forgiveness—or friends who will carry you to Jesus—this episode is for you.
