Welcome back to season five of Enter the Bible, a podcast in which we share “Everything You Wanted to Know about the Bible…but were afraid to ask.”
In episode 7 of season 5, Pastor at Tokyo Lutheran Church and a Visiting Professor at the Institute for Ecumenical Research in Strasbourg, France, Sarah Hinlicky Wilson returns as our guest. Her most recent book is “A Guide to Pentecostal Movements for Lutherans.” She lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan.
Today our theologians will be answering the listener-submitted question, “Why Does God Only Heal Conditions that the Body Has the Capability to Heal Naturally Such as Cancer, but Never Heals Conditions which the Body Does Not Have the Capability to Heal Naturally Such as Loss of Limb?”
