21. From Atheism to Miraculous Healing: Sarah’s Story of Faith, Marriage, and Physical Healing

In this powerful episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, host Jessica Cabrera talks with Sarah about her incredible journey from being raised by atheist and agnostic parents to unshakable faith in Jesus. Raised in a non-Christian home, Sarah discovered faith in Jesus through a youth program. It took time to discover what it meant to depend entirely on God—but that’s exactly what happened after she suffered a major stroke that left her unable to walk, talk, or eat. At the time, she was preparing to leave her marriage—but God intervened. Through miraculous healing on more than one occasion, Sarah not only regained her physical strength, but also experienced spiritual restoration and marital healing. Today, Sarah has a passion for ministry and she and her husband seek God’s presence in their marriage. This episode is a testimony to the power of surrender, God’s unchanging presence, and the beauty of restoration—both physical and spiritual.

Do you want a relationship with God too?

If you have never made the choice to accept Jesus' offer – a gift, not by works – to be restored to the original design for your life, which is a relationship with God (on earth and in heaven after physical death), now is the time. There is an article in Jessica's Engage Faith Column that will help you understand who He is, who you are, what choice you have, and what happens when you make the decision.

The importance of a Biblical faith community:
