Blessed in Suffering
In this Season 3 kickoff, we interview Beverly Ross, the director for Wise County Christian Counseling, a supervisor, and a therapist from Decatur, Texas. Her son, Josh Ross, was on our season 2 kickoff episode. Beverly shares about grief through the loss of her daughter and her recent experience with cancer. She describes how many of her views on certain spiritual ideas, such as being "blessed", have transformed. Beverly's passion and joy shine through this interview; we know you'll benefit from hearing her story.
