When I sat down to share my story on the “Finding God In Our Pain” podcast, I found myself reflecting on how losing my father as a teenager in our blended family became the unexpected catalyst that shaped everything—my calling to ministry, my passion for counseling, and ultimately my understanding of how God meets us in our deepest pain.

When Sue Corl invited me onto the His Heartbeat podcast, I knew I'd be sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my story, and honestly, that both terrified and excited me.
