What if the thing you’ve been praying for requires the response you’ve been avoiding?

In this powerful message, we dive into John 5 and the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda—a man who had been stuck for 38 years, waiting for change but bound by excuses, disappointment, and patterns. When Jesus asks him a seemingly simple question—“Do you want to get well?”—everything shifts.

In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ question and challenges us to confront the areas where we may be choosing comfort over transformation. With biblical truth and personal insight, she reveals how healing often requires participation, obedience, and the courage to let go of the past.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, defined by your past, or limited by your circumstances—this message will stir your faith and call you forward.

✨ If you’ve ever asked questions like:

● Why do I feel stuck even though I want change?

● What’s actually holding me back from healing?

● How do I move past my past?

● Why does God ask me to do things that feel impossible?

● Am I unknowingly choosing comfort over breakthrough?

💡 What you’ll learn:

→ How to identify and overcome the excuses keeping you stuck

→ Why willingness is key to experiencing true healing

→ What it practically looks like to “get up and walk” in faith
