Get to Know Tedd
Tedd Clayton is a man of deep faith, genuine warmth, and the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you've known him your whole life. Currently on kidney dialysis and the transplant waiting list, Tedd made a choice — to turn one of life's hardest chapters into something that lifts others up.
Through his YouTube channel, The Friend You Know, Tedd speaks directly to people who are tired, hurting, or feeling invisible. His message is simple and unwavering: you're not alone, not today, not ever.
Whether he's sharing scripture from a dialysis chair, talking about obedience and gratitude, or connecting with people through his love of HAM radio — every word comes from experience, not theory. This isn't religion. It's relationship.
Dialysis is something you go through. It's not who you are. You're still a father. You're still a mother. You're still someone who matters very deeply in this world. Every treatment you finish is a victory.— Tedd Clayton, “You Are Not Alone on Dialysis”
