She Was Told God Doesn’t Speak Anymore—Until This Happened - #121 Mary Beth Drury

Mary Beth Drury was raised in a faith tradition that taught God no longer speaks directly to people. Spiritual experiences were dismissed. Supernatural encounters were considered unnecessary—or even impossible. But that belief didn’t survive her reality. As Mary Beth wrestled with a deep, hidden eating disorder that had controlled her life for more than 15 years, she reached a breaking point. What followed was not self-help, therapy, or religious effort—but a direct encounter with God that challenged everything she had been taught to believe. 👉 Watch more firsthand encounters where God meets people personally in our Encounters With God playlist:    • Encounters With God   In this conversation, Mary Beth shares: ⇨ How religious tradition shaped her view of God—and limited her expectations ⇨ The hidden battle behind her long-term eating disorder ⇨ What happened when she encountered God personally ⇨ How hearing God brought freedom and healing ⇨ Why her faith is now rooted in experience, not just doctrine This is not a debate about theology. It is a sober, personal testimony of what happens when God meets someone beyond religious systems—and why encounters with Him still happen today. If you’ve ever wondered whether God still speaks, still heals, or still meets people personally, this episode invites you to consider that question honestly. ---------------------------------------- CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Intro: Missing God Through Religious Tradition 00:02:48 Mary Beth's Upbringing in Charismatic Catholicism 00:11:51 Generational Pride, Abuse, and the Pursuit of Perfection 00:19:49 The Eating Disorder: A Demonic Stronghold 00:31:47 Seeking Answers from a Psychic and a Whirlwind Marriage 00:37:16 The Prayer of Desperation and Finding Jesus 00:49:09 The Fight in the Kitchen: Deliverance from Bulimia 01:12:44 The Voice of God Warns of Sickness and Saves Her Child 01:26:42 Forgiveness, Neck Pain, and a Demon's Exit 01:44:55 Receiving the Gift of Tongues and the Fire of the Holy Spirit 01:57:38 How Believers Can Still Be Demonically Oppressed 02:03:07 Breaking Free from Religious Boxes and Ministering to Others 02:16:21 Final Message: Ask Jesus Where You Have It Wrong ---------------------------------------- ✟ Reach Mary Beth Drury here! https://www.clashofthekingdoms.com/ ---------------------------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here! ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ---------------------------------------- RECOMMEND A GUEST HERE ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ Instagram:   / astrongerfaith   ⇨ TikTok:   / astrongerfaith   ⇨ Facebook:   / astrongerfaith   LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Apple: https://apple.co/4g9vU8t ⇨ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Zbg3jK ---------------------------------------- ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. ---------------------------------------- WE LOVE MAIL!
