Roughly 133 million people in the U.S. struggle with chronic illnesses every day, and yet they're rarely talked about. 

Struggling with a chronic illness can oftentimes feel isolating when the pain endured is invisible, or when it feels impossible to explain what it's like to live in constant fear that severe pain could be on the horizon. For Tina Medlin, who's been living with Crohn's disease for roughly 30 years, she knew these feelings well. But instead of just accepting them as the norm, she set out to create a community where those with chronic illnesses feel supported, cared for, and heard.

Tina discusses how this mission led her to pioneer the Warrior Braids Ministry, a Christ-centered nonprofit that offers resources, support and community to those who live with chronic illnesses.
