Hey, friend! I know I’m officially on my summer break, but I couldn’t stay away. I wanted to pop back in because I have a conversation I think you are really going to appreciate.
Today I’m joined by our friend Heather O’Brien to talk about her new book, Heal with God (affiliate link). If you have been walking through grief, hurt, trauma, or simply longing to experience God’s healing presence in a deeper way, I think you’ll find so much encouragement in what she shares.
Heather is going to share the story behind the book and why she felt called to write it. We’ll also explore the gentle, step-by-step approach she takes to healing with God—because healing isn’t something we force or rush. It’s something we learn to walk through with Him, one faithful step at a time.
We are also going to spend some time talking about why it’s so important to build a solid foundation in our relationship with God before we become preoccupied with our healing. It’s a perspective I think many of us need to hear, especially in a world that often treats healing like another project to accomplish instead of an invitation to draw near to God.
I know this conversation is going to encourage you.
And one more thing before we begin: I will be back in August with brand new episodes of Journal Gently. I’m spending this summer resting, listening, and allowing God to refill what I’ve been pouring out, and I can’t wait to share what’s been growing in my own heart when I return.
For now, let’s jump into my conversation with Heather O’Brien.

You can do more than just read a Bible story; you can actually enter into the story itself and experience God.
And you don’t have to be a Bible scholar to do it.
In the Imagine devotional, you’ll dive into a different story in the Bible and get a taste of what a person’s life might have looked like as they encountered God through their specific circumstances.
