In this deeply personal and faith-filled episode of Revival Mom, I’m joined by my dear friend, Dafne Wiswell, host of the Healing Starts Here podcast. We dive into her incredible journey of healing from rheumatoid arthritis—a diagnosis that once made daily life feel impossible—and how God led her to full recovery.
Dafne shares how her healing was not instant, but intentional. Through prayer, research, obedience, and God's specific guidance, she went from struggling to open water bottles or tie her children’s shoes to living medication and symptom-free for over 14 years now. But more than that, we talk about the kind of healing that goes beyond the physical—emotional, spiritual, and relational restoration that only the Lord can bring.
If you're a Christian mom who feels stuck in a season of waiting, this episode is for you. Whether you're battling chronic illness, navigating unanswered prayers, or just wondering if God sees your pain—Dafne’s story will bring comfort, hope, and renewed faith.
You’ll hear us talk about:
-
The real-life impact of autoimmune disease and why it’s not the end of your story
-
What it looks like to walk with God through suffering—not just to get healed, but to know Him deeper
-
Why healing often includes setting boundaries, releasing bitterness, and obeying divine nudges
-
How to envision a life beyond pain, and write it down in faith
-
The power of God’s comfort, even when outcomes don’t go as we hoped
If you've ever whispered “Why not me, Lord?” or “How much longer?”, this conversation will remind you that God weeps with you, walks with you, and works even when it hurts. You are never alone in your healing journey.
