This Town Hall Meeting deals with ‘Faith & Religion.’ This is a topic that affects everyone, but we will consider this topic through the lens of living with congenital heart conditions.


How does having a critical illness affect YOUR faith and/or religion? Today we have an expert panel. Brenton Ball is a heart patient who has undergone many open-heart surgeries over the course of his life. He was raised Catholic. Ayrton Beatty is a bereaved family-member-turned-heart warrior in her own right. Ayrton considers herself a spiritualist. And our third panelist is Nancy Jensen, a bereaved heart mom to Jessica and is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as the Mormon religion.

Join us as we discuss the significance of religion when dealing with chronic illness. We also discuss differences in religious practices when considering Catholicism, Mormonism, and Spiritualism.

The second segment involves questions for the panelists from our Patrons, guests, and co-hosts. The final segment is a conversation between the co-producers and the co-hosts.

Many thanks to Myles Schweitzer -- the Wild Mooseman Band for our music. We love you, Myles!
