CHRONIC ILLNESS
As we journey through diagnoses and treatment plans, loss and isolation, sadness and grief, we can also discover the gifts of laughter, joy, and hope along the way. [Chronic Pain • Shame in Illness]
CAREGIVERS
A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—discovering God’s joy as you care for your loved ones.
MENTAL ILLNESS
Stigma, isolation, loneliness, and shame often follow a diagnosis of mental illness. With God, mental illness has no stigma. You are His precious child, deeply loved and fully accepted. [Anxiety • Depression]

Hold Onto Possibility Everyday • Are you thinking about ending your life? Reach out for support. Are you concerned about a friend or loved one ending their life? Ask. Listen. Love. Pray. [Trauma Soul Care]
