    S2 Ep. 09 | Corner Toters Prt 1

    What kind of friend are you?In this episode, we unpack one of the most powerful stories in Scripture—four ordinary men who refused to let obstacles keep their friend from Jesus. In Mark 2, they carried a paralyzed man through a crowded house, climbed onto the roof, tore it open, and lowered him down to the only One who could change his life.Their story challenges us to ask some hard questions:Do you have friends who would carry you when you can’t carry yourself?Are you the kind of friend who refuses to give up on people?When life gets difficult, do you quit… or do you find another way?Together, we step into the shoes of every person in the story—the four friends, the paralytic, the crowd, the homeowner, and even Jesus—to discover what each perspective teaches us about faith, perseverance, brotherhood, and discipleship.This conversation is about more than friendship. It’s about becoming the kind of man who carries the weight, takes the long way when necessary, pushes through every obstacle, and does whatever it takes to get people to Jesus.Plus, as always The Big 3:🏗️ Job Site Story🏆 Win of the Week😂 Kid QuoteIf you’re longing for deeper friendships, stronger brotherhood, and a faith that refuses to quit, this episode is for you.Sometimes the greatest act of faith isn’t waiting for God to move—it’s picking up a corner of the mat and taking the first step.
