Be inspired by the roots of healing in the early church. Find out how healing was so linked to the growth of Christianity. Consider how we can be a healing presence today by learning from those who have gone before. We hope you find this an uplifting and hopeful podcast episode!
In this first episode of the Healing Histories series we share a conversation with Professor Amanda Porterfield, professor of religion at Florida State university and author of ‘Healing in the history of Christianity’ Could there be anyone more perfect to launch this new podcast series from GoHealth? We don't think so.
In their conversation, Gillian and Amanda cover the following topics:

Why Amanda wrote her book, ‘Healing in the History of Christianity.’
The reason healing played such a large part in the early church.
The history of christian healing in cultural context.
What Amanda means by the word ‘healing’ and 'miracle.'
How the church might heal from its sometimes harmful history.
How Amanda views the future of healing in the Christian faith.
The role of Community in making the world a better place.
