In this episode, I speak with Lena Blain, a worship pastor. She shares how she turned to God while overcoming tendonitis, preventing her from following a path she’d prepared most of her life for, supporting her husband after a detrimental spinal injury, and battling with depression.If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 9-8-8. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
