What happens when you take an ancient command—lay hands on the sick and see them recover—and put it into practice week after week? Pastor Linda Budd shares vivid moments from a single Sunday: three visiting women, bold prayer after the sermon, and a surge of relief as pain leaves and hope rises. From a numb finger regaining feeling to a woman overwhelmed as her knee pain vanishes, these stories capture the urgency, tenderness, and grit of healing prayer.
We walk through Linda’s approach: ask specifically, call forth what’s needed, and persist even when personal prayers remain unanswered. You’ll hear how she prays for “new body parts” like meniscus, why testimony matters for building faith, and what to do in the in‑between when outcomes vary. Rather than hype, the focus stays on clear requests, careful listening, and a posture of humility—celebrating improvement, welcoming follow-up, and pointing to the goodness of God. Along the way, Linda offers a real-time prayer for listeners dealing with knee issues, inviting you to pause, check your pain level, and notice any change.
If you’re curious about Christian healing, shepherd a community that longs for practical guidance, or simply want to test your assumptions about what’s possible, this conversation is a grounded starting point. We aim to make space for honest questions, courageous faith, and stories that invite more.
