This contemplative Christian podcast episode focuses on Luke 5:17–26 in the New Living Translation (NLT), where friends lower a paralyzed man through a roof to get him to Jesus. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through a gentle rhythm of slowing down, reading, noticing, meditating, and responding to the story.
We explore how Jesus sees “their faith,” forgives the man’s sins, and then heals his body—revealing His authority and compassion. The episode invites you to consider the power of intercession, spiritual friendship, and being both a carrier and a receiver of Christ’s mercy. A simple spiritual exercise helps listeners “carry someone in prayer” throughout the day.

In this chapter, we find Paul given access to the Roman Governor, Felix. Paul is able to speak with him many times about being a Christ follower. I find it interesting that Felix was looking for a bribe from Paul but instead kept hearing more about Jesus and his way. Paul stayed in jail and kept sharing the message of Jesus. I am struck by the way that Paul continued to share the message of Jesus even when his circumstances are not good. I can’t help but think that if I was in jail like Paul, for no reason, that I would not be as positive and faithful to sharing the message. What about you?
