In this episode of Chris Explores the Gospels, we enter the story of the paralytic — a man carried to Jesus by friends when he could not come on his own. Through historical context, cultural insight, and sensory storytelling, we discover why Jesus forgives before He heals, and what this reveals about the wounds we carry beneath the surface. With a personal reflection on identity, self‑perception, and the healing power of God’s mercy, this episode invites listeners to experience the God who restores us from the inside out.
