HBM022: The Holy Ghost Fixes David's Brain

David Blackshire Key had brain cancer and one of his side-effects was a strange sensitivity to light called "photophobia". After doctors removed the tumor, his painful sensitivity continued. So he turned to his faith, looking for healing from a supernatural force.

David Blackshire Key has been called a douchebag more times than he can count. It's probably because he used to wear big sunglasses--day and night, indoors and out. He wasn't a movie star, he just had brain cancer.

One of his side-effects was a strange sensitivity to light called "photophobia". Even after doctors removed the tumor, his painful sensitivity continued. So he turned to his faith, looking for healing from a supernatural force.

Writer and radio producer Bridget Burnquist produced this show.

In this show, we reference Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California. For more information on them, visit ibethel.org
