If you’ve ever wanted healing but felt unsure how to move forward without pushing yourself—or God—this episode is for you.
Many of us have been taught to pray for healing while secretly wondering what we’re supposed to do next. We long to hear God’s voice, but we’re afraid of getting it wrong… or moving faster than our hearts are ready for.
Today’s conversation is an invitation to slow down and consider healing not as something we achieve, but something we participate in with God—one gentle step at a time.
I’m joined by Heather O’Brien, host of the Heal with God podcast, and together we’re talking about listening for God’s voice, discerning the next right step, and learning to partner with Him in ways that are safe, grounded, and deeply compassionate.

As we close, I just want to remind you that healing with God doesn’t require you to know the whole path—only the next gentle yes.
You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to figure everything out. And you don’t have to prove your faith by pushing yourself faster than your heart can hold.
If something in today’s conversation stirred you, notice that with compassion. You might carry it with you into prayer, into journaling, or simply into rest. Trust that God is patient, present, and deeply attentive to your pace.
I’ll see you next time.
