Today I'm joined by pastor and author Nick Connolly. He and his wife, Jess, are founding pastors at Bright City Church in South Carolina. At the end of 2023, Nick was rushed to the hospital for what he thought were cardiac events but would later learn were severe panic attacks. This led to 12 of the darkest days he's ever experienced. No sleep. Spiritual warfare. And many, many more extreme panic attacks. "But I thought he was a pastor?" (Yes, pastors are human too!) Nick shares some advice for those who may have experienced similar struggles. We also unpack trusting God's provision in our lives and how being persistent when you experience resistance - and NOT giving up - can lead to victory on the other side.
