107: When Life Throws You a Curve Ball with Gillian Marchenko


Listen Later

“You don’t get a pass on your faith because of a curve ball.” OUCH! Would your best friend be willing say the same to you if you needed to hear it?

My co-host this week is Gillian Marchenko, author of Sun Shine Down: A Memoir. Gillian’s life as a mom, wife of a pastor and missionary in Ukraine was completely rocked when their third child was born with down-syndrome. In this experience, Gillian learned what deep faith, true friendship and real appreciation for life was all about.

Through our discussion, Gillian shares how:

  • it’s possible to feel two opposing emotions at the exact same time
  • it’s ok to dislike the diagnosis and still love
  • to react when your friend goes through a hard time
  • Join us for an inspiring discussion about how dealing with the curve ball isn’t always pretty but absolutely survivable.

    What is the event in your life that you weren’t sure you would ever see the “sun shine again”? Share it with us for a chance to win a copy of Gillian’s memoir.
