He walked in thinking he needed back surgery, then admitted the pain was gone. That single moment captures the tension we all feel when a long-standing diagnosis meets an unexpected change and it’s exactly where this conversation goes. Linda Budd, a pastor at Rivergate Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shares why she takes Scripture literally about laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover, and how years of praying for people has shaped her expectation for healing. 

We talk through a vivid healing testimony from a church service: a visiting man with hip pain and lower back pain steps forward, the pain begins to leave, and his own words reveal both shock and relief. It’s not just a story about “signs and wonders” or a dramatic moment in a room, it’s also about what happens in your mind when your body changes faster than your plans. If you’ve ever wrestled with chronic pain, fear about the future, or questions about Christian healing ministry, this will feel uncomfortably honest in the best way. 

You’ll also hear a focused prayer for anyone listening with sickness, disease, hip pain, or lower back pain, plus an invitation to receive Jesus. If this encouraged you, subscribe for more testimonies and faith-filled conversations, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.
