We live like the world is our movie and wonder why we are exhausted. In Mark 2:1–12, Jesus goes beneath the surface and heals the real injury; he forgives before he fixes, proves it in public, and pays at the cross as the scarred Lamb who went down so we could rise. This is not another self improvement strategy; it is the end of auditioning. Discover how to trade your "main character energy" for God's invitation to come home.
