Pastor Linda Budd, of Rivergate Church in Tulsa, shares a bold, scripture-grounded approach to healing that meets people where they hurt and invites them into real restoration.

We move through a...

Some stories are so clear they cut through doubt. We talk about what happens when you take Jesus’ words at face value—lay hands on the sick and expect recovery—and how that conviction shapes a healing culture built on simple prayers, steady obedience, and lives changed in ordinary rooms. You’ll hear a vivid testimony of a man crushed by unrelenting fatigue who found freedom when we named the “life‑sucking” thief, cast it off, and taught him how to stand his ground when the old weight tried to...

We walk through what happens when faith gets practical: naming the need, praying plainly, checking for change, and giving thanks without hype or pressure. I talk about why I take the biblical call...

From a numb finger regaining feeling to a woman overwhelmed as her knee pain vanishes, these stories capture the urgency, tenderness, and grit of healing prayer. We walk through Linda’s approach: ask...

What if the pain you’ve carried could begin to lift today? We share a gripping, ground-level testimony from a healing service where a man, bent over and new to the room, stands up at a simple call for those with back pain. He asks for a “new back,” we pray in the name of Jesus, and he starts to cry as the pain begins to leave. It’s not polished or theatrical—just a quiet moment where faith and need collide, and hope breaks in. We talk candidly about taking Jesus’ words at face value—lay hand...

You’re mid-task, your to-do list is loud, and someone asks for prayer. Do you pause or push it off? We share a short, clear story about a busy day, a staff member with sharp back pain, and a simple prayer that turned into an hour-later text: “Totally healed.” The moment wasn’t planned, the mood wasn’t ideal, and that’s the point—God’s goodness doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. I talk about years of pursuing healing ministry, taking Scripture at face value—lay hands on the sick and see the...

A room full of women in pink, a visiting pastor in pain, and a bold claim that signs and wonders follow the preached word—then everything stops. The man leans forward to stand and suddenly freezes at the pew, unable to move or speak, while the atmosphere shifts and people feel a surge of expectation. We watch the scene unfold step by step as Pastor Linda Budd names hip pain, prays, and prophesies restoration for a couple worn down by a hard year, and the room turns electric. What happens nex...

A grandson walks into a service with a pounding headache, and minutes later he’s pain-free—then he turns around and prays for his grandpa’s ear infection. That’s the heartbeat of this conversation: ordinary people, short prayers, and surprising results that challenge how we think about healing and hope. I share why I take Scripture’s call to lay hands on the sick literally, what years of steady practice have taught me, and how childlike faith can open doors adults often hesitate to knock on. ...
