When Kathleen Johnson’s life fell apart, she didn’t set out to become “Scripture Girl.” She was a woman searching for peace, holding on to faith through divorce, fear, and a diagnosis that left doctors without answers. But when healing came — spirit, soul, and body — so did a new purpose: to show others that the same Spirit who heals also sends.In this conversation with Wade Franson, Kathleen shares her journey from pain to restoration and the message behind her book Healed to Heal. Together they explore the transforming power of surrender, the discipline of Scripture, and what it means to live by the Spirit in a world driven by fear.It’s a testimony of grace, boldness, and the freedom that comes when healing becomes more than a miracle — it becomes a mission.

Early Christianity was subversive and dangerous—dangerous for Christians and a threat to the keepers of the old order. Most of all, Christianity was countercultural.

In his provocative book, Postcards From Babylon, Brian Zahnd challenges the reader to see and embrace a daring Jesus-centered Christianity that can turn the world upside down again.
