Can Healing and Deliverance Be Biblically Understood Today?
Can Healing and Deliverance Be Biblically Understood Today?
Healing ministries often stir strong opinions—hope for some, skepticism for others. But what if the real question isn’t whether healing happens, but how we understand God’s intentions through Scripture?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I’m joined by Beatty Carmichael for an honest and thoughtful conversation about healing, deliverance, and the beliefs that shape how Christians approach God’s power today.
Together, we explore the tension many believers feel as they navigate conflicting teachings about healing and supernatural gifts. Beatty shares how his background, including exposure to both medical and spiritual perspectives, led him to reexamine healing through a biblical framework rather than through formulas or emotional experiences. His insights invite listeners to slow down, return to Scripture, and consider how repentance, obedience, and interpretation shape understanding of healing.
This episode isn’t about quick answers or sensational claims. It’s about wrestling with Scripture, questioning long-held assumptions, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide deeper understanding. We reflect on how even the early church grappled with new revelations and how growth in faith often involves discomfort, humility, and transformation.
Throughout the episode, we wrestle with questions many believers are asking:
• How should Christians understand healing and deliverance biblically?
• What role does repentance play in spiritual and physical restoration?
• How do we discern truth amid differing teachings and experiences?
This conversation invites listeners to move beyond surface-level beliefs and engage more deeply with Scripture—seeking clarity, wisdom, and a faith that is anchored in truth rather than tradition or trend.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
