When Jennifer’s daughter Chloe spiraled from anxiety and depression into a life-threatening incident, Jennifer discovered a new kind of fight: surrender to Jesus while advocating with courage. She shares the ER night that changed everything, the moment God whispered “I love her more,” and how surrender meant releasing control, not abandoning care. Jennifer walks us through advocating with psychiatrists and counselors (including pushing back on meds/fit), why self-care is mission-critical for moms, and how journaling, worship, and community kept her steady. We also explore the “refining fire” season and the difference between God’s delay and God’s absence…they’re not the same. This is a lifeline for any parent navigating mental health at home: practical next steps, biblical anchors, and a reminder that you’re not failing, you’re fighting in faith.
