TOP 2% GLOBAL PODCAST Ever prayed for healing and wondered why the struggle remains? Do you love God and still feel stuck in anxiety, shame, anger, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelm? Have you read Scripture, tried to forgive, and done all the "right" things—but the same struggle keeps circling back? Do you want to hear God clearly but still wonder, "Was that really Him?" You are not weak in your faith, and your struggle is not your identity. Welcome to Heal with God—a Christian podcast where you'll learn to hear God's voice clearly, understand what's beneath the struggle, and partner with Him in healing. You'll grow in peace, discernment, and identity in Christ. I'm Heather O'Brien—a Jesus follower, wife, mom, minister, author, and Spirit-led healing coach. For years, I prayed, fasted, served God, and tried harder while privately battling depression, anxiety, shame, and rejection. I believed God spoke, but I didn't know how to hear Him clearly. Everything changed when I slowed down and let God show me what was beneath the struggle. I learned the symptom was a signal, not the conclusion. Now I help Christians do the same through biblical teaching, practical tools, stories, and live coaching. You'll learn to: → Hear God clearly → Recognize what's beneath the struggle → Stop managing what Jesus died to heal Bring your Bible, your coffee, and the laundry you forgot in the washer.

    276| 4 Ways to Heal Your Marriage as a Christian Without Waiting for Your Spouse to Change

    Marriage can quietly become frustrating when you feel like you are the only one trying to grow, heal, communicate, or change. I know how easy it is to start focusing on everything your spouse is not doing. But sometimes the first place God wants to bring healing is not in their heart. It is in ours. In this episode, I am sharing four ways to heal your marriage as a Christian without waiting for your spouse to change. We are talking about unmet needs, expectations, forgiveness, judgment, and what happens when we accidentally make our spouse responsible for giving us something only God can fully provide. Key Takeaways Why your spouse can be a vessel God uses, but cannot become your source of peace, joy, love, or security How to recognize when you are waiting for your spouse to heal before giving yourself permission to heal Why disappointment often points to hidden expectations, comparison, or a fantasy of what marriage "should" look like How words like "always" and "never" may reveal unforgiveness and judgments you have been collecting A simple way to ask God what He wants to heal in your own heart instead of constantly diagnosing your spouse Why forgiving quickly can protect your heart from bitterness and emotional distance Listen now and ask God one honest question: What are You showing me about my heart in my marriage? Declaration: God, You said Jesus is the cornerstone. Therefore, I am built on Jesus, and I will receive my love, peace, joy, and security from You. I will forgive quickly, release judgments, and let You lead my healing. NEXT STEPS 👉 Explore all my resources, freebies, and programs here: https://linktr.ee/healwithgodpodcast

    275| How to Hear God's Voice Clearly in 4 Steps for Biblical Healing

    You may feel like God is silent when you pray, especially when you're trying your hardest to hear Him clearly. That tension can create confusion, self-doubt, and the belief that something is wrong with your ability to hear God. But often, the issue isn't silence—it's recognition. In this episode, I share a simple but powerful shift in how hearing God actually works. Through a real-life moment watching birds feed and a coaching breakthrough inside the Heal with God Workshop, you'll see how God often speaks in patterns, awareness, and subtle clarity rather than obvious answers. You'll also learn a 4-step process to begin recognizing His voice more clearly and consistently in your everyday life. Key Takeaways: Feeling like God is silent often comes from misunderstanding how He speaks Hearing God is a learned awareness, not a spiritual "ability you either have or don't" God often speaks through repetition, impressions, Scripture alignment, and peace You can train your awareness by slowing down and asking intentional questions Discernment is what turns hearing into clarity and direction Application is where trust in God actually becomes healing Listen now and begin learning how to recognize God's voice with clarity instead of confusion.

    274| The Power of Forgiveness for Christian Healing with Kathleen Johnson

    Forgiveness can feel tender, especially when you've already prayed about the same pain for years and still feel the sting of what happened. In this conversation, I'm sitting down with Kathleen Johnson to talk about the power of forgiveness for Christian healing—not as a religious phrase, not as pretending it didn't hurt, and not as forcing yourself to trust someone who hasn't rebuilt trust. Kathleen shares how unforgiveness can become a block in our spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical healing. We talk about what forgiveness is, what it is not, and why releasing unforgiveness can open the door for God to reach the wound we've been trying so hard to protect. Key Takeaways: Forgiveness is not the same as trust Forgiveness does not mean giving up on justice Forgiveness does not mean what happened was okay Unforgiveness can keep us tied to the person or pain we're trying to move past God can heal in layers, even when the process takes longer than we expected When God heals us, our story can become part of how we help someone else heal too Kathleen's resources: Kathleen Johnson Ministries https://kathleenjohnsonministries.com Scripture Girl https://scripturegirl.com Healed to Heal Podcast https://healedtohealpodcast.com Listen now and ask God if there is any place where unforgiveness has been acting like protection, but is actually keeping the wound closed off from His healing.

    273| Why You Can't Stay Consistent (Shawna's Breakthrough with Biblical Healing)

    I've noticed that a lot of people can feel like they've already dealt with something in their life, but it keeps showing up again in different forms. When that happens, it's easy to assume something is wrong with you or that you're not actually making progress. But often what's really happening is that there's still something deeper underneath the surface that hasn't been fully seen yet. In this episode from a Heal with God workshop, I walk through a real coaching moment with Shawna where her cycle of inconsistency was exposed at the root level. What looked like a discipline issue was actually tied to something internal around what feels safe when change begins to take place. Key Takeaways: Inconsistency is often not about discipline, but about internal beliefs that get activated when change starts happening When something in me feels unsafe about growth or change, I may unknowingly pull back into old patterns God often uses repeated cycles in my life to reveal something deeper that needs attention, not to condemn me Awareness of what's happening beneath the behavior brings clarity and breaks the cycle of shame Healing happens at the root level, not just through trying harder to change the outward behavior Listen now and reflect on where I may be seeing repeated patterns in my life that are actually pointing me toward something God wants to heal more deeply within me. Scripture, Prayer & Declaration "God, You said You search my heart and know my ways. Therefore I am and I will allow You to reveal what is beneath the surface so I can walk in truth, peace, and freedom. I am and I will trust You with what You are uncovering and let You heal what I cannot fix on my own."

    272| Why Biblical Declarations Bring Healing When Affirmations Don't

    If affirmations have ever made you feel worse instead of better, you may not be the problem. You may just be missing the pimentos. In this episode, Heather shares the difference between affirmations and biblical declarations — and why positive self-talk may give a temporary boost, but still leave the root untouched. Using a funny story about accidentally making pimento cheese without the pimentos, Heather explains why affirmations can sound good but still miss the most important ingredient: the Word of God. You'll learn why biblical declarations are not just Christian affirmations, how God's Word becomes the sword of the Spirit, and why hidden identity lies like "God heals people… but me" need truth with authority. If you've ever said, "I am enough," "I am confident," or "I am loved," but still felt anxious, ashamed, rejected, or stuck afterward — this episode will help you stop blaming yourself and start asking what God says instead. Scriptures mentioned: Ephesians 6:17 John 17:17 Isaiah 55:11 John 6:63 Prayer + Declaration: God, Your Word is truth. Your Word will not return void. Your words are spirit and life. Show me where I have agreed with fear, shame, rejection, striving, or "but me." I repent for believing I am the problem or the exception to Your truth. I receive Your Word as truth over my life. I am not too broken. I am not the exception. I am not the "but me." Your Word is working in me, even when I cannot feel it yet. I will take up the sword of the Spirit, declare Your truth, and walk it out with You. NEXT STEPS 👉 Explore all my resources, freebies, and programs here: https://linktr.ee/healwithgodpodcast
