  • “I Got You”: A Testimony of Healing, Purpose, and Knowing Jesus for Yourself with Armentha Hackett
    Jul 12 2025

    Send me a text and let me know your thoughts!

    This week, I had the honor of sitting down with Armentha Hackett—an incredible woman of faith with a powerful story of survival, healing, and a deeper understanding of who Jesus really is.

    “You’re Not Going Home.”

    Armentha noticed a shortness of breath, but chalked it up to a cold. When she finally went to urgent care, they rushed her straight to the emergency room.

    “They asked me what I knew about oxygen levels. I said, ‘Normal’s like 98, 99%.’
    The nurse said, ‘You’re at 62.’”

    Armentha was admitted to the ICU. What followed were 45 days in the hospital, a battle against pneumonia, the flu, and a full-body shutdown caused by a respiratory infection. Doctors didn’t expect her to make it.

    “I was hooked up to everything… I didn’t even know how bad it was. But I kept hearing this still, small voice:
    ‘I’m here. I got you.’

    It started with what she thought was just a cold. But God had a far greater plan—and presence—in what unfolded.
