#389 God Healed Her of Cancer. Why Doesn't He Heal Everyone? | Corley Spell

The Alisa Childers Podcast

Show Notes

What do you do when you pray for healing...and God says yes? What do you do when He says not yet—or not in the way you hoped?

In this episode, I sit down with Corley Spell, co-founder of Good Ranchers, to hear the remarkable story of her battle with melanoma. Diagnosed while pregnant with her fourth child, pressured to abort her baby, and later facing a life-threatening recurrence that left her bedridden, Corley shares how God met her in the darkest moments of her journey.

Together, we wrestle with some of the hardest questions Christians ask:

Does God still perform miracles today? Why does God heal some people but not others? Should Christians pray for physical healing? How do we trust God when the answer isn't what we hoped for? What does it look like to surrender completely to God's will while still believing Him for a miracle?

This is not a formula for healing or a blueprint for medical decisions. Every cancer journey is different, and Corley repeatedly encourages listeners to work closely with qualified medical professionals and seek the Lord's wisdom for their own circumstances.

Whether you're walking through cancer yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply wrestling with questions about suffering, faith, and God's sovereignty, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust the Lord—whatever His answer may be.

Decades ago, Christian philosopher and apologist Francis Schaeffer warned that evangelical Christianity was heading toward what he called “The Great Evangelical Disaster.” He believed that as Christians increasingly accommodated the spirit of the age, compromised biblical authority, and abandoned objective truth, the consequences would be devastating. Looking at the church today, was Schaeffer right?
