As Charlene Kuznia reached adolescence, she started experiencing debilitating migraines. These headaches, along with severe endometriosis, continued to plague Charlene throughout her years as a wife and mother.

In her 50s, Charlene felt a new kind of pain and tried everything she could to feel better. Nothing helped.

Charlene was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer and began her fight for survival.

She felt "lower than low."

In a moment alone—face down on her bedroom carpet—Charlene cried out to the Lord.

This week's "mini retreat in a podcast" explores how Charlene was lifted from her suffering and unexpectedly gifted with a new sense of purpose.

Charlene, along with her beautiful daughter Jenessa, created a new nonprofit called "Down Home." While undergoing life-saving treatments, Charlene also dedicated herself to helping families transition out of homelessness by providing furniture and décor.

Listen and deepen your understanding of God's purpose for you!
