When a diagnosis brings uncertainty, fear doesn’t always show up as panic. Sometimes it arrives quietly, in racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and the weight of “what if.”

In this episode of Healing Through Scripture, Christie shares the one Scripture she has returned to again and again in the middle of diagnosis and waiting:

“By His stripes I am healed.” — Isaiah 53:5

This episode is both deeply personal and deeply practical. Christie shares how, during a season of uncertainty when only one medical outcome was being presented to her, her mom felt clearly led by God to tell her to begin speaking this Scripture out loud multiple times a day, treating it as daily medicine.

Not casually. Not occasionally. But consistently.

This conversation explores what it looks like to take God’s Word intentionally, how repetition builds faith, and why Scripture must interrupt fear before fear takes over.

• Why fear often grows louder during diagnosis and waiting

• The personal story behind “By His stripes I am healed”

• What it means to take Scripture as medicine, faithfully and consistently

• Why repetition of truth strengthens faith

• How speaking Scripture aloud can anchor your thoughts and calm your body

• The difference between denying reality and declaring truth

If you are:

• Facing a diagnosis and feeling uncertain about next steps

• Waiting on medical answers or treatment decisions

• Wrestling with fear about outcomes

• Trying to balance faith and medical wisdom

• Carrying quiet anxiety about your body

This episode gives you something steady to return to.

Instead of spiraling in fear, you are invited to anchor yourself in one truth and return to it daily.

Rather than offering quick solutions, this episode helps you:

• Learn how to interrupt fear with Scripture

• Build a daily rhythm of speaking truth over your body

• Understand healing through the lens of Christ’s finished work

• Strengthen your faith through repetition, not pressure

• Experience peace even while waiting

When fear tries to take over, you don’t need ten new answers—you need one truth you can return to consistently.

Isaiah 53:5 (NLT) “…by His stripes we are healed.”
