EP 16 | Why Healing Feels Out of Reach (Even When You’re Praying for It)

Episode Summary Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right”. Praying, believing, trusting God, yet healing still feels just out of reach? In this episode of Healing Through Scripture, Christie opens up about a personal season where her body felt off, her hormones were out of balance, and despite her faith, nothing seemed to be shifting. This episode unpacks the powerful truth that healing isn’t something you have to chase. It’s something you learn to receive. You’ll discover the difference between believing in healing and actually living from the place of already healed, and how daily partnership with God’s Word becomes the foundation for true transformation, physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you’re a woman over 40 navigating hormone imbalance, stress, fatigue, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will meet you right where you are and give you practical, faith-based steps to begin again.
