When "Faith Healing" Becomes Abuse: Reclaiming my life after my seizures were called a sin.

This is good information to pass on to family and friends who may have experienced the same thing.
I found a new audio podcast episode from **The Wounded Pew** titled **"When Epilepsy Is Called A Sin."** It explores the story of a survivor named Debbie who, at 16, was forced to confess "hidden sins" while having a tonic-clonic seizure at a church camp.

I can relate to this story so much.

It Wasn’t Sin

She was 15 years old when they told Debbie her seizures weren't a medical condition—they were spiritual. They told her she didn't have enough faith. They said it was unconfessed sin. It wasn't.

I’m sharing Debbie's Story because I know there are others here who were told to "pray away" a medical emergency or were shamed for a health condition. You weren't crazy, and it wasn't your fault.
