Can Prayer Really Heal the Body? Her Story Will Challenge You (with Dr. Ingrid Faro) S3E2

What happens when prayer doesn’t just change how you feel—but changes what’s happening inside your body? In this episode of The Christian Clinician, Dr. Tanya Paynter sits down with Old Testament scholar and author Dr. Ingrid Farrow to hear her powerful testimony of physical healing during a season of deep trauma, exhaustion, and unresolved anger toward God. After years of caregiving, chronic stress, and deteriorating health, Dr. Farrow describes a moment of honest surrender in prayer that led to an immediate and tangible physiological change. Together, they explore how prayer functions not simply as a request for answers, but as an act of relationship—one that reshapes the nervous system, reframes suffering, and invites healing even when circumstances remain unchanged. This conversation offers hope for anyone who has prayed for years without seeing the outcome they expected, reminding listeners that the true transformation often begins in how we approach God, not in the answers we receive.
