Step into the Word with Belinda Kirk in this episode of Everyday Grace. Together we explore one of the most striking accounts in the Gospel of Mark—the healing of the paralytic man.
Belinda begins with a personal story about replacing her own roof, connecting it to the unforgettable moment when four friends tore through a roof to lower their paralyzed companion before Jesus. What drove them? Faith, determination, and an unwavering commitment to bring their friend to the only One who could heal and forgive.
As the story unfolds in Mark 2, we see how Jesus responds not to the paralytic’s faith, but to the faith of his friends. Their boldness paints a vivid picture of what intercessory prayer looks like: carrying someone else’s burden, refusing to give up, and placing them at the feet of Christ.
Belinda challenges us to reflect: Who are we bringing to Jesus? How determined are we to pray for those in need? And do we recognize the life-changing impact our intercession can have on others?
Join us for this stirring conversation about faith, prayer, and the beauty of standing in the gap for those we love.
