Ep 9 pt1 - Slowly Dying While God Seems Silent | Chris Blackeby Pt 1

For most of his life, Chris Blackeby battled a debilitating illness that doctors struggled to explain. Exposure to toxic levels of lead, aluminum, and mercury during childhood left him fighting symptoms that steadily eroded his health, yet somehow he kept moving forward. His body was weak but his mind and heart were resilient. As a young adult he was rapidly promoted in his work and on the path to making millions. Simultaneously, his ministry was growing as his reputation and influence continued to expand. The future seemed set ~ success, influence and purpose. The next logical step? Marriage. Just as Chris was preparing to propose, he discovered the woman he loved was living a double life and the heartbreak shattered him. What years of illness had failed to accomplish, a broken heart did almost overnight. His health rapidly deteriorated and doctors gave him only months to live. Chris sold everything he owned and purchased a round-the-world plane ticket, intending to spend his final days traveling. He even bought insurance to ensure his body would be returned to his parents in Australia when he died. At his lowest point, convinced he had only days left to live, Chris was lying in an Epsom salt bath and had an encounter that would forever alter the course of his life. This is the story of suffering, heartbreak, unanswered prayers, a God who seemed silent, and eventual, miraculous healing that reached much deeper than physical symptoms alone.
