Christians With Chronic Illnesses

You Called Me Out with L. A. Sprague (Half-Time Show)


Listen Later

What makes a day “good” when your body won’t cooperate? We open the door to your most honest questions and share the messy, hope-filled reality of living with chronic illness and active faith. From naming a POTS flare while recording to savoring a chef-made coffee treat and trading Marvel favorites, we explore how small joys, honest limits, and steady love can reshape expectations without denying pain.

We dig into the hardest faith tension many of us face: believing God heals while not being healed yet. Drawing from scripture and lived experience, we unpack why “just have more faith” can wound, how to unlearn harmful interpretations without abandoning Jesus, and what resilient trust looks like when answers are slow. You’ll hear candid reflections on doubt, comfort, and the difference between tidy slogans and a God who meets us in the long wait.

We also get practical about management and mindset. We admit the lifelong learning curve, the up-and-down seasons of electrolytes, pacing, movement, and boundaries, and the temptation to let illness own our identity. Instead, we choose discernment over judgment, grief with purpose over a victim script, and course correction over perfection. Community shows up here too: real check-ins, shared tips, and pop-culture joy that reminds us we’re people before patients. Press play for a grounded, compassionate conversation that holds both truth and tenderness—and leave with language for your own good day, even when symptoms won’t budge.
