Podcast:  Sickness Is Not God's Tool

I have survived cancer (twice), a stroke, pulmonary embolism, and septic shock. Any of those could have killed me.
Driven by five close-calls with death, I’m learning everything I can about healing prayer, and God’s commitment to heal us and see us well. This podcast is about the lessons I’m learning.
You won’t have to check your brain at the door as we look at healing prayer with careful, yet profoundly hopeful eyes.
