Theology and National Director of Alpha UK, Chloe Swart was raised as a pastor's child, she had early exposure to stories of faith and the miraculous through her parents, an influence that shaped her later academic and ministry work.

Chloe holds a PhD in theology, where she studied healing miracles in Wales. Sending out questionnaires, she gathered testimonies from over 600 people who reported physical healing.

Her research found that healings typically came through prayer from an ordinary friend, colleague or family member rather than a senior leader outside church buildings, and that while 40% of accounts involved life-threatening conditions, 60% concerned everyday ailments like arthritis or sciatica.

In 2026, Chloe published 605 Everyday Miracles: Learning to Do What Jesus Did, Today (IVP), drawing on her research to help readers pray more boldly and live out an everyday faith of healing.

In this episode of The Profile she talks to Premier Christianity journalist AJ Gomez about her experience of studying those who've been healed and bringing Jesus's healing into people's lives herself.
