What if weakness doesn’t get the final say over your life? We sit down with Pastor Linda Budd from Rivergate Church in Tulsa to explore healing prayer, authority, and stories of people who walked in exhausted and left with fresh strength. From the first moment, Linda shares why she takes the biblical call to lay hands on the sick at face value, and how years of praying for people shaped her conviction that fatigue, disease, and fear can be confronted with hope.
The heart of the conversation is a vivid testimony. Linda describes sensing that someone in the room was battling constant weakness, inviting her to come forward, and praying with clear, simple words: let draining weight lift and new energy fill your body. Soon another person shares a recent diagnosis with a shortened timeline. Linda responds by refusing despair and speaking life, addressing not only symptoms but the heavy story attached to them. Whether you share her faith tradition or are simply curious about spiritual healing, the emotional arc is universal—meeting fear, daring to hope, and choosing to step toward a future that feels possible again.
We also talk about perseverance: why ongoing prayer matters, how community support shifts mindset, and what it means to claim strength for each day even when circumstances look unchanged. You’ll hear a blend of pastoral insight, compassionate realism, and bold expectation that invites you to stand up inside—body and soul. If you’ve felt worn down, worried by a diagnosis, or unsure how to pray when words run out, this conversation offers a path: speak life, ask for help, and keep showing up for your own healing journey.
