Summary
In this expansive and deeply personal conversation, we sit down with Apostle Kathryn Krick to explore faith, spiritual authority, healing, and what it truly means to live a life "ever forward." Kathryn unpacks the biblical foundation of apostleship, the modern restoration of spiritual gifts, and her belief that healing, deliverance, and miracles are meant to be accessible today—not confined to Scripture. This episode examines demonic oppression versus possession, the power of words and faith in daily life, navigating wilderness seasons, and why gratitude and obedience are essential to sustained spiritual growth. Kathryn also shares her improbable journey from years of obscurity to global revival, offering a powerful reminder that progress isn't always visible—but obedience always matters.

| 0:03.5 | Hi, I'm Catherine Crick. I'm so blessed to be at Ever Forward Radio. I am the pastor and apostle of |
| 0:09.6 | Fivefold Church in Los Angeles. And I'm going to be talking today about how to be free, |
| 0:15.4 | healed, and receive abundant life. What if the reason you're still stuck isn't because you're broken, lazy, or lacking discipline? |
| 0:23.9 | What if anxiety, addiction, depression, and burnout aren't just psychological but spiritual? |
| 0:31.4 | Most of us were taught that faith is belief, that healing takes time, that transformation is slow. But what if that's wrong? |
| 0:41.5 | Today's guest believes the modern church has lost something essential, not motivation, not morality, |
| 0:49.3 | power. She says the early church wasn't just inspired, It was dangerous. People didn't just feel better. |
| 0:56.9 | They were set free. And she claims that what we now label as anxiety, depression, addiction, |
| 1:04.5 | even chronic illness may actually be forms of oppression and that freedom doesn't come from trying harder, but from |
| 1:12.4 | encountering something greater. This conversation isn't comfortable. It challenges psychology, |
| 1:18.5 | religion, and self-help culture all at once. But if you've ever believed in God, |
| 1:24.4 | yet felt distant from him, if you've done, quote, all the right things, but still |
| 1:29.1 | feel stuck, or if you've ever wondered whether healing could happen now, not someday, then this |
| 1:36.3 | episode might confront you in ways you didn't expect. Happy holidays. I'm Chase Chuning, |
| 1:42.1 | and welcome to Ever Forward Radio. |
| 1:49.4 | And before we jump into today's episode, the last episode of 2026. And before we wrap up the year, |
| 1:54.8 | I just really quickly want to take a moment and say thank you. Truly. Thank you for listening, |
| 2:02.4 | for watching, for sharing, for subscribing to the show and for being part of the Ever forward community. This podcast exists because of you and your support over the years means way more than I can put into words. |
| 2:09.0 | If you've been getting value from these conversations, one of the biggest ways you can help me, |
| 2:13.7 | help the show grow is by subscribing on your podcast platform of choice. It takes all but a |
| 2:19.7 | couple seconds, but it truly helps Everford Radio reach more people who are looking to improve |
