Healed by God - this is Marilyn Johnson’s story of how God finally healed her and helped her let go of her past, shame and brokenness.

In this inner healing testimony Marilyn shares what caused the wound, the turning point where God met her, and the practical steps to redemption, inner healing and wholeness.

Marilyn Johnson is a mentor, speaker, author, qualified schoolteacher and the founder of At The Well Ministries.

This episode of the Come See podcast is for anyone who has felt stuck, going around in circles and struggling to move forward from your past. For anyone searching for testimonies of inner healing and real-life examples that God still heals today.

Her battle with intrusive thoughts led to memory loss; God brought healing and restoration.

Juliana Ohene-Nyako is a Corporate Solicitor, Children’s author and cofounder of branding and design agency 478. After years of witnessing a close family member's battle with mental health and navigating the devastating impact, her own battle began with intrusive thoughts and memory loss.

How does God help us to put the pieces back together when things fall apart beyond our control? Juliana's testimony is a beautiful reminder that with Jesus - no matter how bad things get, there is always hope.

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
