Dr. Daniel Butler shares a heart wrenching journey through personal and family challenges, focusing on his wife’s mental health struggles and how these experiences have reshaped his life and ministry. He speaks openly about the real impact of chronic stress and the importance of caring for both your emotional and physical health. For Daniel, faith isn’t just a comfort—it’s the foundation that helped him lean on community support and find hope during the toughest times. He explains how prioritizing self-care, from getting enough sleep to managing stress, isn’t a luxury but a necessity for living out God’s eternal purpose.
