We share a candid journey from our healing ministry at Rivergate Church, where prayer for the sick is more than a line in scripture—it’s a daily practice of showing up, laying on hands, and asking boldly for restoration.

A woman could barely make it down the hallway. Minutes later, she was dancing, stomping, and smiling like a different person.

We share why specificity in prayer matte...

Bodies remember pain, but they also remember relief.

A man walks into our sanctuary bent over, exhausted by heart trouble after dying seven times. I feel a nudge: take his hand and invite him to walk. Two steps later he says, “Something’s touching my heart,” and the room shifts from routine to expectancy. What follows is a lap of courage, a surprising encounter in what I describe as a portal—an opening where God’s presence feels tangible—and a follow-up that grounds hope in data: a d...
