Is it "Lack of Faith" to Rely on Medication? (The Answer is No)

I’ve seen the look of shame on a deacon’s face when he pulls out his insulin pen at a church potluck. I’ve heard the whispers that if a person "truly believed," they wouldn't need a pill to stay alive. This idea—that medical treatment is a backup plan for a weak prayer life—is a theological error that is killing people in our pews.

Let’s be very clear: relying on medication is not a lack of faith. It is an act of gratitude for the wisdom God has revealed to humanity.

The Creator of the Cure

Who do we think gave the scientists the ability to map the human genome? Who designed the chemical properties of the plants we turn into medicine? "Every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17).

If God provided a way to keep your heart beating or your mind clear through a specialized medication, rejecting that gift isn't "holy"—it’s ungrateful.

Faith in Action

Faith is not sitting on your hands and waiting for a lightning bolt. Faith is the stewardship of the life you’ve been given. Taking your medication every day is a disciplined act of care for the temple of the Holy Spirit. It is you saying, "Lord, I value this life, and I’m going to use every tool You’ve provided to stay strong for Your service."

Removing the Financial Stigma

Many people "spiritualize" their health problems because they simply can't afford the treatment. They say "God will heal me" because they don't want to admit they can't pay the $600 pharmacy bill.

We exist to take that burden away. We believe that no child of God should be priced out of their healing. We help you get your medications for $40 a month so you can focus on your walk with Christ, not your balance at the pharmacy.
