I have survived cancer (twice), a stroke, pulmonary embolism, and septic shock. Any of those could have killed me.
Driven by five close-calls with death, I’m learning everything I can about healing prayer, and God’s commitment to heal us and see us well. This podcast is about the lessons I’m learning.
You won’t have to check your brain at the door as we look at healing prayer with careful, yet profoundly hopeful eyes.

Podcast: When God Defies Our Assumptions About Faith
Length: 8 minutes, 26 seconds
But I learned that sometimes God will defy my assumptions—even those based in Scripture—in order to reveal a truth that lies outside that good principle. I needed to trust a Person’s heart more than a principle. -
Podcast: Prayer As Divine Radiation Therapy
Length: 4 minutes, 9 seconds
This episode is about the value of slow prayer for healing; and why the ancient Hawaiians called the Christian missionaries, “haoles.” -
Podcast: What Question Can You Ask Your Friend With Cancer?
Cancer is a disease of isolation. Your life orbits around the “C” word, but no one else’s does. It’s your primary concern, but others understandably have their own primary concerns. Your life is no longer normal: doctor’s visits, medical scans, online searches for cures, and medical bills are the new priorities. But nothing has changed for those around you.
Length: 5 minutes, 10 seconds -
Podcast: Rising Compassion As a Signal God Wants to Heal
My emotional core was groaning. I scanned the room. Visceral compassion rose up in me; an urging. I wanted to see people in that room made well. This wasn’t an intellectual exercise in prayer; it was spiritual pathos in bodily form. No dutiful appeals: This was gut-level prayer. Signaled by a surge of compassion.

Podcast: Your Own Will Matters When It Comes to Healing
(The strange story of King Hezekiah’s death-sentence)
Length: 6 minutes, 5 seconds
Some of you will struggle with this idea because you’ve been told for years that “Thy will be done” no longer means, “my own will be done.” You’ve been told to sacrifice your will to a God who actually wants to resurrect it. -
Podcast: Faith Is a Focus; Not a Formula
Length: 4 minutes, 53 seconds)
When praying for the sick, the last thing we want to do is scold anyone for a lack of faith. This won’t give them any more faith and will only increase their suffering. How much faith should they have anyway; and who would know how much is enough faith?
Customer Reviews
Heartfelt and powerful
Jim shares with heart. This isn’t theological Christian-ese. It’s real life. Looking at stories through the lens of someone who has actually faced death himself is eye opening. What a great perspective. Thank you, Jim.
