Welcome to a moving, powerful conversation with my friend Tina Akridge! Tina has journeyed through impossible circumstances (a health crisis, the loss of her husband, children who have battled addiction and wandering) to discover that God remained and sustained her through it all.

Tina and I chat about what it's like to be painfully shy, the perpetual new girl, and what she thought the first time she met her husband (not exactly love at first sight lol). Our conversation shifted to Tina's journey through Mark's cancer diagnosis and all the angst and mercy that chased her afterward--from watching her children battle through pain to discover healing and redemption--to grasping God's best plan, even when we don't understand it.

Also in this episode...

Who decides life and death, the ripple effects of cancer no one considers, playing the cancer card, worshiping through pain, overcoming addiction, glorified emotions, what not to say to someone in grief, and how to live a life out of balance for what matters most.
