    287| Did Pain Steal Your Purpose? Christian Healing with Cecily Lachapelle

    Pain can do more than hurt. It can quietly convince you that you are dirty, rejected, unworthy, or simply not enough. Before long, what happened to you begins shaping who you believe you are. In this conversation, Cecily Lachapelle shares how childhood trauma, betrayal, divorce, rejection, and shattered dreams affected her sense of worth and purpose. Perfectionism became her attempt to repair what felt broken—but striving only produced more anxiety, shame, and self-criticism. Cecily's healing began when Scripture became more than information. As she made space to hear God personally, His truth began replacing the painful verdicts she had carried. She emerged from that season more firmly rooted in the truth that she is deeply loved and wanted by God. Learn more about Cecily here:   higherpursuitministries.com KEY TAKEAWAYS Pain can quietly become a false identity. Perfectionism promises healing but keeps you striving. Lingering pain does not prove spiritual immaturity. God's Word moves from information to transformation when we receive it personally. Time in God's presence helps uncover what is beneath the visible struggle. Pain may interrupt your plans, but it cannot erase God's purpose. Listen now and consider what you may have believed about yourself because of what happened to you—and what God says is true instead. DECLARATION What happened to me does not define me. I am wanted, loved, and held by God. I do not have to strive for His acceptance or depend on the world's approval. My pain has not erased my purpose.

    286| How Tia Uncovered the Root of Feeling Stuck Through Christian Healing Prayer

    Feeling stuck does not always mean you need to work harder or find a better plan. Sometimes the stuckness is a signal pointing toward a burden or belief you have carried for years without realizing it. In this live coaching replay from the Heal with God Workshop, Tia describes feeling as though she had hit an invisible wall in her family, finances, health, and personal goals. As we slow down and listen for God's voice, a childhood experience reveals why she has felt responsible for managing everyone else's emotions and actions. You'll hear the moment Tia recognizes the hidden belief beneath her stress—and discovers that trusting God means allowing the Father to carry what was never hers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why feeling stuck may be signaling something deeper How childhood roles can create false responsibility Why letting go can feel unsafe even when you trust God How healing with prayer helps expose hidden beliefs The difference between loving people and carrying their outcomes SCRIPTURE "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." — Psalm 139:23–24 PRAYER Jesus, show me where I have taken responsibility for people or outcomes You never assigned to me. Reveal the belief underneath my pressure, and help me trust You with what I cannot control. Amen. DECLARATION I am not responsible for controlling other people's emotions, actions, or outcomes. I can obey God and trust my Father to carry what was never mine. Listen now and ask yourself: What responsibility have I assumed that God may never have assigned to me?   NEXT STEPS 👉 Explore all my resources, freebies, and programs here: https://linktr.ee/healwithgodpodcast

    285| How to Leave Old Patterns Behind for Lasting Christian Healing

    Leaving an old belief behind is only the beginning of healing. Lasting change often requires learning how to think, respond, set boundaries, and live differently when the old way still feels more familiar. In this episode, I'm sharing Mae's story and what Israel's transition from the wilderness into the Promised Land can teach us about walking out healing. A familiar thought returning does not mean you have lost your freedom—but agreeing with it too quickly can pull you back into an old pattern. God can help you recognize what is happening, respond with truth, and cultivate the new life He is leading you into. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why familiar thoughts can feel true even when they oppose what God revealed How to pause before agreeing with an old pattern or spiritual attack Why the Promised Land required a different mindset than the wilderness How healing can change your habits, boundaries, relationships, and responsibilities Why you shouldn't abandon the prayer tools and support that helped you heal How supported practice can help new responses become more familiar Listen now to discover why uncomfortable change does not mean your healing failed—it may mean you are learning how to live healed. SCRIPTURE "You have not passed this way before." — Joshua 3:4 "The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land." — Joshua 5:12 PRAYER Father, help me recognize the thoughts and patterns that no longer belong in my life. Give me courage to embrace healthy change, follow Your presence, and continue using the tools You provide. Teach me how to steward the healing You are growing in me. In Jesus' name, amen. DECLARATION I am not defined by my old patterns. Through the Holy Spirit, I can recognize familiar lies, embrace healthy change, and learn how to live in the healing God is growing in me.

    284| Can Prayer Reveal the Limiting Belief Blocking Your Christian Healing?

    Recurring symptoms can make you believe you need more discipline, a better system, or stronger willpower. But procrastination, anger, intrusive thoughts, or even an anxiety attack may be signaling a limiting belief you cannot recognize on your own. In this episode, I'll help you get curious through prayer, filter what surfaces through your identity in Christ, and understand why supported Christian healing can uncover what effort alone has missed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why limiting beliefs often feel like unquestionable facts How prayer can expose what is driving repeated patterns Nine practical steps for hearing God about the root How identity in Christ helps you recognize false beliefs Why another person may see what you cannot Where to find guided prayers for common struggles Listen now and ask God to show you whether the symptom you keep managing is pointing toward the breakthrough you have been unable to name. Scripture: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalm 139:23–24 Prayer: Father, show me any limiting belief I have accepted as truth. Help me recognize what is underneath the patterns I keep trying to change and receive Your truth without shame. Give me the humility to hear You through prayer and through the people You place around me. In Jesus' name, amen. Declaration: I am not broken, disqualified, or the exception to Christian healing. I am teachable, led by the Holy Spirit, and able to receive the truth that brings freedom. NEXT STEPS 👉 Explore all my resources, freebies, and programs here: https://linktr.ee/healwithgodpodcast

    283| Biblical Healing for Trauma with Jared Laskey

    Trauma can make healing feel complicated, especially when you love God, believe in prayer, and have already been praying about the same struggle for years. In this conversation with Jared Laskey, we talk about biblical healing for trauma, his testimony of Jesus healing him from combat PTSD, and how the Holy Spirit helps us recognize God's voice even when fear, pain, or overwhelm have been loud. This episode is a hope-filled reminder that God is not intimidated by trauma, and your struggle is not your identity. Jared's story points us back to this truth: healing is possible with God. Not because we force ourselves to be stronger, but because Jesus still heals, the Holy Spirit still comforts, and God still speaks into the places we thought we would have to manage forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS God can heal what trauma has touched. Biblical healing is not about pretending pain is not there. The Holy Spirit brings comfort, clarity, and peace. Hearing God can help reveal what is happening beneath the struggle. A symptom may be a signal, not the conclusion. Hope matters because sometimes we need to know healing is possible before we can envision it for ourselves. Listen now and let this conversation remind you that you are not too wounded, too stuck, or too far gone for God to meet you in the middle of your healing story.

    282| How Nick Escaped the Performance Trap to Hear God Clearly

    Nick had spent a year and a half praying, studying Scripture, and doing everything he knew to hear God clearly. But instead of finding clarity, he felt exhausted, confused, and afraid that God had given up on him. During this live coaching session, God revealed that Nick had unknowingly turned spiritual disciplines into spiritual performance—and believed the outcome depended on him. Key Takeaways Spiritual disciplines can become performance when I use them to earn an answer from God. Trying harder is not always the answer when I still feel confused or stuck. Performance, perfectionism, and pride can place responsibility on me that belongs to God. Grace is a free gift I receive through faith—not a reward for doing everything perfectly. My responsibility is to hear God, obey what He shows me, and trust Him with the outcome. The pressure I'm carrying may be a signal that there is a deeper belief God wants to reveal. Listen now and hear the moment Nick says it feels like a "1,000-pound gorilla" has lifted as he releases the pressure to perform and receives God's grace. Prayer: God, show me where I have turned my relationship with You into performance. Forgive me for believing everything depends on how hard I work. I release the pressure to strive, receive Your grace, and trust You with the outcome. In Jesus' name, amen. Declaration: I do not have to earn the voice or attention of my Father. I will obey God, trust His grace, and leave the outcome in His hands. NEXT STEPS 👉 Explore all my resources, freebies, and programs here: https://linktr.ee/healwithgodpodcast

    281| Still Stuck After Prayer? Biblical Healing Through Hearing God's Voice with Beatty Carmichael

    Prayer is powerful, but sometimes we keep praying the same prayer at a symptom without understanding what God may be revealing beneath it. When the struggle remains, it can leave us discouraged, confused, and wondering whether we are doing something wrong spiritually. In Episode 279, I'm sharing my conversation with Beatty Carmichael about hearing God's voice during the healing process. We talk about why Christians can love God, pray faithfully, and still feel stuck—and why needing another person's perspective does not mean you lack faith. Key Takeaways Why remaining stuck is not proof that prayer failed Two ways to test whether you are hearing God How a symptom can reveal a deeper emotional or spiritual need Why we cannot always recognize the root from inside the struggle How identity, fear, agreements, and unforgiveness can affect healing Why one clear next step can be more helpful than another checklist Listen now and consider whether the struggle you have been trying to silence may be pointing toward something God wants to help you understand. Declaration: My struggle is not my identity. I am loved by God and learning to recognize His voice as He leads me toward truth, clarity, and healing.

    280| 4 Biblical Ways God Speaks That Most Christians Overlook for Inner Healing

    You can know the Bible, love God, and still feel unsure about what He is saying to you personally. That uncertainty does not mean you are failing spiritually. God may already be speaking through Scripture, nature, dreams, other people, or ordinary moments—but you may be overlooking what He is doing within them. In this episode, I share June's story from the Heal with God Signature Program and how learning to recognize God's voice more tangibly helped her deepen her trust in Him, understand her identity, steady her emotions, and find the courage to move forward. Key Takeaways Recognize four purposes in God's communication: teaching, correction, preparation, and equipping Understand why God's loving correction is different from condemnation Notice repeated themes without forcing an immediate interpretation Move from simply hearing truth to responding with one faithful step Replace "I don't hear God" with the identity of someone learning His voice Listen now and ask God which of these four purposes He may already be using in your everyday life. Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 10:27 Prayer: God, open my awareness to the ways You are teaching, correcting, preparing, and equipping me. Help me recognize Your voice, test what I hear against Scripture, and respond with trust. Declaration: I am not spiritually defective. I am learning to recognize the voice of my Shepherd. God is not withholding Himself from me. NEXT STEPS 👉 Explore all my resources, freebies, and programs here: https://linktr.ee/healwithgodpodcast
