"Roof-Ripping Faith: You Need Four Crazy Friends"
Tuesday Jun 03, 2025
Tuesday Jun 03, 2025
In this episode of She Opens Her Bible, we dive into the unforgettable story of the paralyzed man whose breakthrough came—not because of his faith—but because of the faith of his friends.
Jesus saw their faith—the ones who tore through the roof, made a mess, and refused to be polite in the presence of divine opportunity.
This is a call to community. To boldness. To being the kind of friend who carries when someone else can’t move—and to let yourself be carried when you’ve run out of strength.
Diane unpacks:
The power of prophetic friendships
Why faith isn’t always a solo sport
And how sometimes, your healing is just one bold friend away
This is your reminder: get you some rooftop-ripping, Spirit-led, slightly-unhinged-in-the-holiest-way friends. And be one.
