Imagine being lost in the woods with no one searching for you—that’s the image James presents in today’s passage about spiritual healing and restoration. When a believer strays from the truth of Scripture, it’s the responsibility of fellow believers to guide them back. But how do we help someone in need of spiritual healing? And how can we approach the situation with grace, free from accusation or judgment? (James 5:19-20)

Bucky and Mary sit down to discuss his latest message on physical healing. Together, they address questions like: Why does God heal some but not others? What roles do faith and prayer play in the process? Bucky also shares how he discerns, in his own life, whether a sickness might be connected to personal sin.

God still heals people—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Yes, He still heals physical illnesses. However, we often wrestle with understanding why God sometimes chooses not to heal, even when the individual is a faithful believer. While one sermon cannot address every question we may have, this message focuses on a few central ones about physical healing: Where does sickness come from? How does God heal? And how should we approach prayers for healing? 

What circumstances make you feel abandoned by God? Is it okay to express your honest feelings to Him—and if so, how should you do it? In the 300th episode of the Bucky Kennedy Podcast, Bucky and Mary dive into these thought-provoking questions and more. Join us for an insightful and relatable discussion inspired by this week’s sermon.

Christians are not exempt from experiencing emotional pain. The Bible is filled with examples of faithful people who battled with despair, depression, and discouragement. So, how should we navigate these struggles? Scripture not only tells us where to start but also gives a powerful example through the life of Israel’s greatest king. This is the first message in a series titled God Still Heals, based on James 5:13-17. Upcoming messages in the series will explore physical healing and spiritual healing. 

Since the election, many have questioned, 'Did the prophecy experts get it wrong?'—as though God's timeline could be influenced by political events. But biblical prophecy is entirely separate from earthly politics. The truth remains: the rapture is just as imminent today as it was before the election. In this episode, we’ll explore what we need to understand about God’s prophetic timeline and how it applies to our lives.

The greatest event in all of human history is the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the true meaning of Christmas. Seven centuries before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah proclaimed the promise of Christmas. Though this prophecy is ancient, its message remains profoundly relevant, touching the practical realities of our lives even today. 

As Christians, it’s essential to grasp the true significance of what we’re celebrating at Christmas. We know Christmas marks the birth of Jesus, but that only scratches the surface. Why is His birth worth celebrating and what does it means for our daily lives? When we truly grasp why Christmas matters, we’ll see how this incredible gift deserves far greater appreciation and celebration than we often give.

Most people believe that contentment comes from having the right possessions, relationships, or circumstances. The apostle Paul, however, teaches an important principle: contentment isn’t natural—it’s something we must learn. This lesson was foundational to Paul’s life and remains one of the most crucial lessons for Christians today. So, how do you develop true contentment? And what harmful attitude works against it?

Bucky shares his personal story in great detail. Although he grew up in church and professed Christ at a young age, it wasn’t until November 28, 1983, as a partying college student, that Bucky had a life-changing encounter with God. His journey will challenge you to reflect on your own faith and encourage a deeper, daily walk with Jesus Christ.
