IL #667: 5 Lessons from the Paralyzed Man: Leadership That Brings Others to Jesus


Listen Later

Some stories in Scripture capture the essence of faith and leadership in just a few verses. The story of the paralyzed man and his four friends in Mark 2:1–12, Matthew 9:1–8, and Luke 5:17–26 is one of them—a story of faith in motion, compassion in action, and teamwork that moved heaven itself.

In this episode, Ron explores what this moment reveals about authentic Christian leadership. These friends weren't scholars, pastors, or CEOs. They were ordinary people who believed that Jesus could do what no one else could—and their determination changed a life forever. Their example offers five timeless lessons for leaders in every sphere of influence today.

Listeners will discover:

  • How faith sees opportunity where others see obstacles.
  • Why compassion gives leadership its strength.
  • That faith in action inspires transformation.
  • How teamwork multiplies impact.
  • That the ultimate goal of leadership is to bring people to Jesus

Ron unpacks these truths with practical insights and Scripture-based encouragement for business leaders, ministry leaders, and anyone called to influence others. Whether you're leading a team, managing a household, or serving in your church, this story reminds you that leadership isn't about status or control—it's about lifting others to Christ.

Listen and be inspired to tear through the roofs of fear, comfort, and convention—so that others can meet Jesus because of your faith.
