The Lie That Faith Heals All

In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations, I unveil one of the most comforting yet damaging lies ever told in religious circles: that faith heals all. From pulpits to prayer lines, many are instructed to simply “have faith” instead of seeking help, as if belief alone can cure trauma, illness, or generational pain. But what happens when faith doesn’t mend the broken? When prayers go unanswered? We examine the emotional and psychological toll of relying on spiritual slogans while overlooking genuine healing. Faith may inspire, but it can’t replace truth, therapy, or tangible change. Let’s discuss the harm inflicted in the name of hope — and why it’s time we stop spiritualizing pain.
