Renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author, Beth Moore, has shared on X that she is in “urgent need” of surgery to address a long-standing back condition.
Moore said she has endured chronic pain for several years, ranging from a constant ache to near agony.
Beth Moore is the president of Living Proof Ministries, an organisation she established in 1994 to help women deepen their faith through the study of scripture. Moore has recently been in the spotlight for her departure from the Southern Baptist Convention and the release of her memoir, All My Knotted-Up Life.
Moore, 67, reached out to her 995,000 social media followers for prayer.
She wrote on X: “Please pray for me as you feel led and remember that the Lord is my joy. He sustains my spirit and keeps me strong.”
She added: “He will help me through these next 8 weeks!”
Moore first disclosed her chronic pain in May, detailing her visits to numerous doctors and multiple MRIs to seek solutions for her “multiple skeletal issues”.
“My spirit is well. I find joy and cheer in Christ Jesus,” she said. “I love my current work and feel guided by the Holy Spirit. I can still laugh and enjoy my loved ones and my dogs. All is well, except for the considerable pain. But only from my neck to my heels. Lol.”
Moore assured her followers that her health issues will not interfere with any upcoming Living Proof events.
“The Lord and I have managed this condition around events for a long time,”.
“I cant wait to worship and study the scripture with you
all” she said.
