Feeling stuck in slow healing? Discover 3 scientific & biblical rhythms to calm anxiety, restore peace, and reconnect with Jesus through soul care.

Podcast Description
Do you ever feel like you're doing all the right things to heal — but nothing seems to change? In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a vulnerable story about the anxiety of waiting for healing to come, and how Jesus met her through the Psalms in a season of slow recovery. If you’ve been feeling stuck, weary, or unsure whether healing is even happening, this episode will remind you: healing can be slow, but God is always present. You’ll be encouraged by science-backed soul care practices, gentle truth from God’s Word, and the loving invitation to rest in Jesus as you wait for your breakthrough.

In today’s episode, Bonnie will help you:
Understand why healing takes time — emotionally, spiritually, and neurologically
Discover how Jesus’ two-part healing of a blind man speaks to your slow seasons
Learn how soul care practices based on scripture and science retrain your brain
Practice a calming breath prayer that anchors your soul
Reframe the in-between season as sacred, not stuck
