Everyone thinks healing is something that happens to you. Alex Seeley says the real question is whether you actually want it, because most people are asking God to heal the very things they refuse to change.

Justin Roethlingshoefer sits down with Alex, pastor of The Belonging Co in Nashville, for a raw Holy Health conversation about identity, deception, and why getting well can feel scarier than staying sick.

This episode isn't anti-therapy or anti-medicine. Alex credits the nutritionist who helped her rebuild after 20 years of anorexia, and both she and Justin value counseling. But they make the case that the root was never the symptom — it was a lie about identity, held in the heart, that no diet, prescription, or quick fix could touch. Heal the identity, they argue, and the issue finally loses its grip.

In this episode, discover:

 🩹 The question Jesus asked a man who'd been sick for 38 years — and why Alex says most of us dodge it
 🗣️ How to tell the difference between the voice of God and the voice that's been lying to you for years
 🧬 Why Alex and Justin believe your identity has to be healed before your issue ever will
 🦋 The reason real healing feels terrifying (once you change, they argue, you can't go back)
 🔒 The 7-step pattern Justin says the enemy uses to quietly wear you down, starting with one distraction

Because the healing was never just about the body. Alex and Justin argue it's about surrendering the story you've believed about yourself — the reject, the failure, the one who's too far gone — and trading it for who God says you are.

 That's where the freedom lives. Not in one more habit, one more supplement, one more session. In finally answering the question honestly: do you want to be well?
