Our Conversation with Barry Bennett | The Perdue Podcast Live EP 29

“God wants us well — and He doesn’t care how we get there.”

In this live conversation, Pastors Aaron and Heather Perdue sit down with Bible teacher and author Barry Bennett. Barry opens up about his 2020 cancer diagnosis (non-Hodgkin lymphoma), the year of chemo and quarantine, and how a revelation of God’s goodness and projecting a healed future by faith carried him through. He explains his simple theology: God wants us well, whether that comes through a miracle or with medical help, and he addresses common hang-ups around doctors, fear, and pride.

They also dive into hearing God’s voice, the “kingdom within,” why the question “Why did God allow this?” is a distraction, and how to avoid getting stuck in religious clichés. Barry shares practical advice for when the Bible feels dry, how thinking about blessing others increases sensitivity to the Spirit, and why peace is the plumb line for hearing God.

If you’ve ever struggled with healing, wondered how to hear God more clearly, or felt confused by teaching that makes God responsible for sickness, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and a fresh focus on God’s goodness.

Check out Barry’s books (Hearing God, Healed Them All, Did God Do This to Me?, Shaping Your Future, and more) and stay tuned for Kingdom Within.
