Jody's story of abandonment by her husband as a mom of three turned into a story of hope because she experienced the care and love of God through EXTRAordinary circumstances and people. All of this eventually led her to pursue helping others with the type of compassion and counseling she herself had received, and she is now the Director of Counseling at Seacoast Community Church. Jody's story is inspirational, and she provides insights into how we, too, can best care for those who are hurting.

Jody mentions these books: Helping When It Hurts by Robert Hunter and Side by Side: Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love by Welch.

Ellen mentions Dr. John Townsend's book, People Fuel, and Ellie Holcomb's album about the Psalms, All My Days.
