Through the story in Mark 2 of four friends carrying a man to Jesus, this message confronts hyper-independence and reminds us that sometimes God’s provision looks like people willing to carry what you cannot.

After disappointment, pessimism can begin to feel like wisdom. We call it being realistic, but sometimes preparing for the worst is a survival vow meant to protect us from ever being hurt again.
