Elana Barbera—Finding Joy and Regaining Her Smile

Welcome to the ninth episode of the third season of the Perseverance Podcast. This is where you will hear the story of Elana, a woman who was struck with Bell’s Palsy, a paralytic facial syndrome, after the birth of her son. Hear how she struggled with depression, anxiety, and anger for decades until she found the joy only Christ can bring. Through this situation, Elana realized that God doesn’t always answer the “Why did this happen to me?”, but He does give hope and encouragement as you persevere. After listening to Elana Barbera’s story of finding joy and regaining her smile through her hope in Christ, I hope you too can feel encouraged to persevere as you go through your own difficult experiences.
