In the third episode of our Lent podcast series Dr Louise Gosbell, biblical studies scholar and disability advocate, joins Phil Walker-Harding, Common Grace supporter and volunteer, to explore Jesus’ encounter with the paralysed man lowered through the roof in Mark 2.

Together, they revisit this familiar passage and challenge common assumptions about disability, sin and agency. Their conversation reflects on the barriers that can keep people from accessing Jesus, from physical obstacles to cultural and theological ones. They invite us to imagine churches courageous enough to remove those barriers, even when it’s disruptive, becoming communities that reflect the transforming welcome of Christ.
