What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your circumstances—but the comfort you’ve found in them?
In this powerful, Spirit-led episode, we unpack the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5:1–15 and the question Jesus still asks us today:
“Do you want to get well?”
Through deep biblical teaching, real-life examples, and personal stories from my own seasons of brokenness—including the years following my divorce and a recent back surgery—I’ll walk you through what it really means to rise, pick up your mat, and walk.
You’ll learn:
-
Why healing requires your participation—not just your prayers
-
How to identify the “mats” you’ve been lying on (pride, fear, performance, shame)
-
What Jesus means when He says “Stop sinning or something worse may happen”
-
How your healing shapes the emotional and spiritual future of your children
-
Why the Happy Kid Toolkit is a life-giving resource for walking out healing as a family
This episode is for the parent who feels stuck, the woman who’s tired of striving, the believer who’s afraid to ask for help, and anyone longing to step into true freedom.
You don’t have to stay by the pool.
Jesus is inviting you to get up and walk.
xoxo,
Danielle
