What does the Bible really say about the spiritual gift of healing? Is it still around today? And why do some ministries make handkerchiefs sound like magic wands?

In this episode of NorthWoods Church Matters, Bobby, Matt, and Rachel dive into one of the least-discussed (and most misunderstood) spiritual gifts: healing. From 1 Corinthians 12 to James 5, from mud in the eyes to mailed-out prayer cloths, we sort through what's biblical, what's questionable, and what's just plain strange.

The conversation explores why "gifts of healing" is written in the plural, whether healing in Acts should be seen as descriptive or prescriptive, and how prayer, faith, and God's sovereignty actually work together in healing. We also unpack why it can be dangerous to build a ministry around miracle-stories and how God uses both healing and suffering for His glory and for our growth in holiness.
