Even in long-term recovery, life can throw us curveballs. How can we use our spiritual recovery tools to face life with faith in joy? Special guest Ray Nelson, Unity minister and person in long-term recovery, was diagnosed in 2014 with end-stage kidney disease. While living with a chronic disease can be difficult, he has found that a full, happy, and joy-filled life is all about making choices.

Ray shares how he chooses to see his condition as a gift-an opportunity to live life to the fullest-and as a way to help others do the same. A 2011 graduate of Unity Institute® and Seminary and an ordained Unity minister, Rev. Ray is the senior minister at Unity of Louisville, Kentucky. He is a member of the National Speakers Association and has spoken at Unity churches and to community groups throughout the Midwest and Great Lakes' regions. Ray is an alternate member of the Great Lakes Unity Regional Board and on the Board of Directors for the House of Ruth, a social service agency serving HIV/AIDS homeless men and woman in Louisville, Kentucky.
