60. Testimony | A Light in the Darkness: Healing After Injury, Meds & Depression with Heather Kooker

After 9 surgeries, 9 medications, and nearly a decade of pain and depression, Heather Kooker was at the end of her rope—until God intervened in the most unexpected way. In this raw and powerful conversation, Heather shares how a workplace injury left her physically and emotionally broken, and how one light-based technology became the answer to a desperate prayer. From regaining use of her arm to watching her parents heal from long COVID and fibromyalgia, Heather’s story is a reminder that God still heals—just not always in the way we expect. We talk about: – Life after injury, disability, and depression – The moment Heather nearly gave up—and what stopped her – How phototherapy brought hope, healing, and purpose – The ripple effect of healing in her family – Why faith and community are essential on this journey If you’ve been told, “this is just how it is now,” we hope this episode stirs something in you.
