We women are notorious for helping meet other people’s needs, but not so great in knowing what to do with our own needs. But what if acknowledging our needs wasn’t a weakness but a doorway to God’s strength?

In this episode, we dive into the story of the paralytic from Mark 2 and discover how faith, community, and vulnerability can transform our lives. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to bring our needs—emotional, relational, and spiritual—before Jesus. We discuss the difference between presenting needs and real needs and why Jesus sometimes doesn’t fix the thing we desperately ask him to fix. You’ll learn to delve into the need behind the need.

We’ll also redefine “paralysis,” exploring the unseen barriers that hold us back. 

Whether you’re the one in need or the friend carrying someone to Jesus, you’ll be encouraged to persist in faith, break through barriers, and embrace the life oonly Christ offers.

Donna
