What If You Weren’t Miraculously Healed? Faith, Suffering, and Trusting God
What happens to our faith when healing doesn’t come the way we hoped—or when prayers seem to go unanswered?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with David Libby to talk about miracles, suffering, and the kind of faith that endures when life is hard. Drawing from personal experience and Scripture, David challenges the idea that miraculous healing is guaranteed and invites us to consider a deeper, more resilient understanding of faith.
This conversation isn’t about denying that God can heal. It’s about wrestling honestly with what Scripture promises—and what it doesn’t. We talk about the Word of Faith movement, the modern obsession with miracles, and how misplaced expectations can quietly harm believers who are already suffering.
Throughout the episode, we explore thoughtful and necessary questions:
• What if faith isn’t proven by healing, but by trust?
• How do we hold hope without demanding outcomes from God?
• What does contentment look like in seasons of ongoing hardship?
This episode offers comfort for those who feel overlooked or discouraged, reminding us that God’s faithfulness is not measured by miracles alone—and that His purposes often extend beyond what we can see in this life.

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.
