Today, I sit down with Jen Hewson, functional medicine practitioner, minister, and founder of Sifting Life Ministries, to explore the powerful intersection of faith, holistic health, addiction recovery, and trauma healing. Dr. Hewson explains why the human body should be treated not as a broken machine, but as a divine miracle created by God, and how modern medicine often ignores the spiritual roots of sickness.

In this conversation, I explore Dr. Hewson’s personal journey through childhood trauma, addiction, and a life-threatening cancer diagnosis that forced her to question Western medical models and seek healing through prayer, repentance, functional medicine, and lifestyle transformation. We discuss gut health, anxiety, depression, addiction, discernment, and the biblical concept of pharmakeia, as well as how unresolved fear, unforgiveness, and generational patterns can manifest as physical disease.

We also dive into Dr. Hewson’s book Gut Instincts, where she outlines a faith-centered approach to healing that combines Scripture, science, and practical application. From addiction recovery and sobriety to leadership alignment and street-level ministry, this episode emphasizes why true healing requires both spiritual restoration and physical stewardship. This is a conversation about discernment, repentance, discipline, and returning home to God’s original design.
