🎶🔥 The pioneers aren't finished—their greatest legacy may still be ahead. Some voices don't just sing songs—they awaken generations. It was such a joy to spend time with Nancy Honeytree Miller, affectionately known as the "First Lady of Jesus Music." As one of the pioneering voices of the Jesus Movement, Nancy helped shape a generation of believers through songs that called people into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Today, her story is still unfolding. Her new book, "Pioneer: The Honeytree Story: From the Jesus Movement to the Nations" now available to help encourage other pioneers to step out and obey Jesus by giving Him their "YES"  Pioneer: The Honeytree Story traces Nancy's journey from a musically rich but fractured home in Davenport, Iowa, through the countercultural fires of the early 1970s, into coffeehouses, festivals, and stages across the world. It's the story of a young woman who found Jesus before Christian music was an industry, signed with a major label before she fully understood what that meant, and kept singing long after the spotlight moved on. Featuring reflections from fellow Jesus Music pioneers — including Phil Keaggy, Tommy Coomes, and Randy Matthews — Pioneer captures a revival generation's story while issuing a bold challenge: the song isn't over. The pioneer still leads. #Honeytree #JesusMovement #JesusMusic

What do you do when life shatters every dream you ever held? This week on the Healing Rain Podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with Holly Jordan Trevillian, author of the deeply moving memoir, This High Mountain: A Story of Grief, Grace, and the God Who Never Let Go. For thirty years, Holly carried a story that was almost too painful to tell. After losing her three precious children—Jamie, Hillary, and Hannah—to the rare genetic disease Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, she found herself walking through a valley of unimaginable grief. Yet even in the darkest moments, God never stopped pursuing her. In this heartfelt conversation, Holly shares how faith is not the absence of questions but the courage to keep trusting God when the answers don't come. Her story reminds us that even on life's highest mountains of suffering, God's presence remains faithful. Together we discuss:
✨ How to keep trusting God after devastating loss
✨ Finding grace in the middle of grief
✨ Why God never lets go—even when we feel like letting go
✨ The surprising ways God restores hope and rebuilds broken dreams
✨ Discovering that our deepest pain can become a testimony of God's faithfulness 📖 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me." — Psalm 23:4 If you've ever buried a dream, lost someone you love, wrestled with unanswered prayers, or wondered where God was in your pain, this conversation will encourage your heart. Holly's story doesn't offer easy answers—but it does point to an unchanging God whose love is stronger than grief, whose grace is sufficient for every season, and whose presence never leaves us. Sometimes the mountain we never wanted to climb becomes the very place where we encounter God most deeply. 🎧 Join us for this powerful episode of Healing Rain and discover that even in your greatest heartbreak, God never lets go. #HealingRainPodcast #HollyJordanTrevillian #ThisHighMountain

What if your greatest struggle became the doorway to your greatest freedom? Your Past Doesn't Have to Define Your Future This week on the Healing Rain Podcast, I talk with Caitlin Hawk, author of Overcomer, Overcome: Finding Freedom from Addiction, Shame, and False Identity, for one of the most honest and hope-filled conversations I've had in a long time. Caitlin's story is one of remarkable redemption. From addiction, depression, suicidal attempts, and an unexpected pregnancy, she found that lasting freedom didn't come from simply changing her behavior—it came through discovering her true identity in Jesus Christ. Together, we talk about: ✨ Breaking free from shame and false identity ✨ Renewing your mind with God's truth ✨ Overcoming spiritual battles through your identity in Christ ✨ Finding healing that transforms your heart from the inside out ✨ Living as the overcomer God created you to be 📖 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." — 2 Corinthians 5:17 If you've ever wondered, "Who am I?" or felt trapped by your past, this episode is for you. Caitlin's testimony is a powerful reminder that no life is beyond God's redeeming grace and that true freedom is found in knowing who you are in Christ. 🎧 Listen today and discover that your story doesn't have to end in shame—it can become a testimony of God's healing, hope, and freedom. #CaitlinHawk #IdentityInChrist #OvercomerOvercome

🌍🔥 What changes when God reveals Himself—not as distant, but as a loving Father? Your healing begins when you encounter the heart of the Father. God wants to reveal His love—and your true identity. 🔥 It was such a joy to connect with Noel Robinson, who recently led worship at the Holy Renaissance gathering at Westminster Chapel in London, where I had the privilege of speaking. We were with leaders from around the world through Billion Soul Harvest. Noel has traveled across nations as a musician, worship leader, and carrier of the presence of God. Yet in our Healing Rain interview, he shared something deeply personal: God desires to reveal Himself to people. For Noel, that revelation came through encountering God as loving, present, and trustworthy. Knowing the love of the Father anchored his identity in Christ and became the foundation from which he worships, ministers, and serves the nations. When we truly know who God is, we begin to understand who we are. We are not defined by rejection, fear, failure, or the expectations of others. Our identity is rooted in Jesus Christ—and from that place of security, we can carry His presence wherever He sends us. 📖 "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" — 1 John 3:1 What a privilege we have to carry the healing presence of Jesus around the world—to worship, proclaim the Gospel, strengthen the Church, and invite people into an encounter with the God who loves them. This is more than music. This is more than ministry. This is healing revival flowing from hearts that know the Father. Jesus is revealing Himself to the nations—and we get to be part of it. 🌎❤️‍🔥 #NoelRobinson #HolyRenaissance #BillionSoulHarvest

🙏 Have you ever looked at our nation and wondered… can God really heal what feels so divided and broken? God Heals Nations: The Power of United Prayer with Cynthia Scott In this powerful Healing Rain conversation, Cynthia Scott reminds us that the foundation of America was never just an idea—it was God's idea. From the very beginning, our forefathers sought Him in prayer, depending on His wisdom, His guidance, and His power to establish this nation. As we approach America's 250th Birthday, Cynthia calls us back to that same place—on our knees before God. Her book, Celebrating GOD Our FOUNDER, weaves together pivotal moments in history with powerful prayers, showing us that the same God who moved in the past is ready to move again today. ✨ God is not finished with America
✨ Prayer is still powerful
✨ Revival begins when people humble themselves and seek Him Cynthia has led prayer movements across cities and for the nation, carrying a deep conviction:
If God shaped our beginning, He can shape our future. This is a call to believers everywhere—
To unite in prayer
To believe for healing
To stand in faith for revival 📖 "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray… then I will hear from heaven and will heal their land." — 2 Chronicles 7:14 Let's honor God as our Founder… and partner with Him to shape what comes next. 🔥 #GodHealsNations #NationalDayOfPrayer #HealingRain

✨ Have you ever faced a moment so overwhelming that it brought you to your knees? In this powerful Healing Rain interview, Cara Shine shares her harrowing journey through one of the darkest seasons of her life—and how God met her right there. Amid the terror of the 2002 Beltway Sniper attacks, a life-threatening medical emergency with her two-year-old, and the devastating loss of a close friend, Cara found herself gripped by fear, panic, and deep questions about God. As a Jewish woman who had felt rejected and misunderstood by Christians, she never imagined that Jesus would meet her in her pain. But in the middle of chaos… He did. Through the simplest moments—a devotional, a handful of M&M's, and one desperate prayer—God revealed His love, His presence, and His power to save. This is more than a story of survival—
It's a story of encounter, healing, and transformation. Cara's testimony will reignite your passion to share the gospel and remind you that even in the darkest moments, we carry the light of Heaven. Don't miss this powerful interview on Healing Rain. #FromFearToFaith #HealingRain #PowerOfTestimony

Do you feel stuck? Have you ever wondered if there's something beneath the surface—something hidden—that's holding you back from stepping fully into your God-given potential?

In her new book, Break Free: Live Free, Sarah vulnerably shares her journey — from her early days in India to discovering how to discern and dismantle five destructive strongholds that can quietly pass from one generation to the next. In today's episode, you're going to discover practical, Spirit-led keys to break agreement with limiting beliefs, uproot hidden mindsets, and step into a life of freedom — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

🔥 The Deal's Still On 🔥 Have you ever felt like God's promises are taking too long? Maybe you feel like it's too late, like the opportunity has passed, or maybe you've stumbled and think you've disqualified yourself. But hear this: The Deal's Still On. 👉 Abraham was 100 years old. Sarah was 90. The promise of God felt delayed, even impossible. Yet God reminded Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3: "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing… and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." ✨ Here's the truth: Trust, not perfection. God's promises don't depend on your adequacy. They rest on His power. No disqualification. Even when we stumble in fear, weakness, or sin, the cross has already purchased our redemption. God's promises still stand. Grace is greater. His grace overshadows every failure and fills every gap. 💡 If God has spoken it, He will bring it to pass. Delay is not denial. What He promised, He will fulfill — in His perfect time. 🙌 Declare this today: "The deal is still on in my life!" #FaithfulGod #TheDealIsStillOn #AbrahamicPromise #TrustGod #GraceWins #JackHayford
