  • What to do when God does not heal you? | EP 7

    Can it be that all you need to be healed is "more faith"? That's what we have heard Christians tell Katja, as she has been sick for over 17 years. Though we do not agree that "more faith" will always solve all your health issues, we have noticed that there are different things we can do to work together with God in the healing journey. We hope that the thoughts we share can encourage, challenge and especially, help you in your journey.

  • When you pray but God does not heal you | EP 6

    Katja has been sick for 17 years, and we have prayed much for healing. But what do you do when those prayers are not answered? How do you not loose faith or grow bitter with God? Is it true that you don't have enough faith? In this episode we discuss a totally different approach, how it may be that you have enough faith to not be healed. Hope this can be an encouragement to you.
