A teenage girl healed of deafness at an 80,000-person revival? When Philip Anthony Mitchell, pastor of 2819 Church in Atlanta, announced that she had removed her hearing aids at the Access event in Arlington, Texas, the claim spread fast, picked up by Malachi O'Brien and Charisma Magazine.
Justin Peters has questions, starting with the wording of the post itself. Anyone helped by a hearing aid, he points out, was not completely deaf. He explains the difference between a psychosomatic healing, a temporary relief driven by adrenaline, expectation and emotion, and an organic healing that has no medical explanation. Peters credits Mitchell for preaching sin and repentance, but shows how his promise that every sick body could be healed puts him squarely in the charismatic camp.
Along the way, Peters revisits John G. Lake's supposed healing of a deaf teenage girl, which the Spokane Press debunked. He also plays 1990s documentary clips of Benny Hinn showing how easily people are convinced they've been healed. Then he turns to Acts 3 and 4, where a man lame from birth walked, leaped and praised God, and even the Sanhedrin admitted they could not deny it.
As a cessationist, Peters believes God still heals when it is his sovereign will. He also believes no one possesses the gift of healing today. This episode matters because it equips believers to test sensational miracle claims against Scripture rather than headlines.

Have you ever heard Christians talk about “a season of pruning,” being “unequally yoked,” or “covering your sins in the blood” and wondered what those phrases actually mean? To someone unfamiliar with the Bible or church culture, Christian language can sound confusing, strange, or even cult-like. In this episode of The Truth Response, Derek, Matt, and Dave break down common Christian expressions, explore the Biblical truths behind them, and explain how believers can communicate their faith in ways that make sense to people outside the church.
The conversation explores spiritual growth, relationships, communion, surrendering burdens to Jesus, emotional experiences in worship, and the difference between genuine faith and hypocrisy. The hosts also discuss why Christians should be careful not to manipulate people into emotional responses and why Jesus—not the failures of imperfect believers—is the standard by which Christianity should be understood. Whether you're a lifelong Christian, a new believer, or someone curious about what Christians actually believe, this conversation invites you to ask questions, look beyond unfamiliar terminology, and discover the heart behind the words.

What do you do when your church doesn't share your heart for evangelism?
In this episode of Gospel Talks, George Binoka and Jeff Musgrave continue their conversation about a pastor's struggle when the church he leads isn't actively reaching the lost.
The answer isn't simply to preach another sermon on evangelism.
Pastors must model it. They must bring people with them, equip them, help them take their first steps, and coach them through the fear and uncertainty that often keeps Christians from engaging their neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members.
George and Jeff also talk about what happens when a church has developed a negative reputation in its community. How does a church rebuild trust? How long does it take? And what does genuine repentance look like when a church has become known as inward-focused?
From modeling evangelism to praying for open doors, from loving difficult neighbors to rebuilding a church's reputation, this conversation challenges pastors and church members alike to stop talking about evangelism and start living it.
The harvest is still plentiful. The question is whether we are willing to become the laborers God has called us to be.
