Episode 22:32 Being Pregnant Is NOT A Disease (So Why Does The Alabama Department of Public Health Treat It As One?) A woman should have the right to decide the type of health care she wants. Especially during pregnancy. A right to receive care from a medical doctor OR a Certified Professional Midwife. In the state of Alabama that right was only granted to women five years ago (2017).

22-29 The Healing Power Of Prayer

Episode 22:29 The Healing Power Of Prayer On last week’s episode we talked about how God is NOT going to heal you. Why? Because He already has. That is, God has already made a way for you to be healed through the “stripes of Jesus.” As a result, the healing power of God ALREADY resides within you and is not something you need to “get.” It’s something you need to express. Something you need to activate and manifest. But how? The answer begins with PRAYER. On this episode we teach you how to pray ...
