Healer & Hope Giver: A Christian Podcast on Healing, Faith & Identity
Healer & Hope Giver: A Christian Podcast on Healing, Faith & Identity
There are seasons when life looks steady on the outside but feels heavy on the inside.
This Christian podcast is a space for honest conversations about healing, faith, grief, identity, spiritual growth, and the quiet work God does in the middle of real life.
Hosted by author and speaker Kim Hawkins, Healer & Hope Giver: Practicing Out Loud explores what it means to live from who God says you are — not from pressure, performance, or old narratives that no longer fit.
Each week you’ll find:
• Long-form episodes on healing and growth in everyday life
• Devotional episodes rooted in Scripture with real-life application
• Gentle encouragement for anyone navigating grief, change, leadership, identity shifts, or spiritual formation
If you’ve ever felt:
– like you’re the steady one everyone leans on
– like healing is happening but still unfolding
– like faith is real but complicated
– or like you’re carrying more than you can explain
You are not alone.
This is a faith-based podcast for those who want depth, not noise. For those who love God but are still becoming. For those learning to loosen their grip and live with open hands.
New episodes release every Monday (long-form) and Thursday (devotional).
Follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or your favorite app so new episodes download automatically.
You don’t have to rush your healing.
You just have to stay.
Healer & Hope Giver: A Christian Podcast on Healing, Faith & Identity
When Your Body Speaks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There are seasons when your body whispers… and seasons when it shouts.
In this episode, I share the story of mini-strokes no one noticed, a month-long migraine that led to brain surgery, years of metabolic swings, and what I’m learning now about sustainable health in a new season.
This isn’t a dramatic comeback story. It’s a conversation about denial, recalibration, and learning to listen without panic.
If your body feels unpredictable… if numbers have discouraged you… if you’ve been overriding signals because everyone else needed you first — this one is for you.

This episode sits inside ARC 2: Healing While Life Keeps Moving.
Here we explore:
- Recognizing subtle health signals before crisis
- Medical trauma and rebuilding trust with your body
- GLP-1 medications and the cycle of weight loss and regain
- The discipline and education gained through structured programs
- Transitioning from rigid control to sustainable rhythm
- Hormone shifts, “normal” labs, and self-advocacy
- The denial pattern that often hides inside responsibility
- Building small, intentional habits instead of dramatic overhauls
This is not about perfect health.
It’s about paying attention.
If you’ve ever:
• Pushed through symptoms because life felt too full
• Felt ashamed of fluctuating numbers
• Struggled between control and avoidance
• Wondered how to move from crisis correction to steady stewardship
You are not alone.
