In this heartfelt episode of the Transforming the Church podcast, Pastor Derwin Gray sits down with bestselling author Ann Voskamp to discuss deep, gospel-centered healing. Drawing from Derwin’s new book, “It’s Time to Heal,” the conversation explores how God meets us in our deepest wounds and invites us into true restoration—not just coping or striving.
Using Jesus’ question at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:6) and His invitation to the weary (Matthew 11:28), Pastor Derwin unpacks a practical, biblical framework for healing. Together, he and Ann discuss the HEAL acronym—Honesty, Expecting hard work, Accepting without approving, and Living from God’s love. They share personal stories of pain, trauma, and transformation, emphasizing that healing is a slow, holistic process involving mind, body, and spirit.
Listeners are encouraged to move beyond shame and self-protection by embracing their identity in Christ, renewing their minds with truth (Romans 12:2), and supporting each other in community. With wisdom from mental health professionals and practical steps like “Christ Behavioral Therapy,” this episode invites everyone—whether at rock bottom or longing for deeper healing—to discover hope, rest, and God’s faithful love.

Vibrant Faith's Rick Lawrence, author of several books including "Editing Jesus," helps us look at the account in Luke's Gospel of the "immoral woman" who washes and perfumes Jesus feet at a religious leader's dinner party. While the world around her has cast her out, Jesus shows life-transforming kindness and grace. Pastor Michael Keller, co-author with his dad, the late Tim Keller, of "The Stories We Live By," addresses some of the common culture myths ("be true to yourself," "live free, but do no harm," etc). These myths have and will fail us, but there is a story that never will.

Where's the line between unnecessarily extending life (futile care) and actively assisting suicide or killing someone? Plus, have we as parents and our society made kids sports activities something that compromises both their physical and mental health? Robbie Gallaty, author of "Wait/Hear," encourages us amid our frenetic lives to be silent before God and listen more.
