From hospitalization and emotional battles to building intentional routines rooted in prayer, scripture, fitness, and therapy, his testimony is both honest and hope-filled. We also dive into the importance of family support, breaking misconceptions about mental health in Christianity, and learning how God can use our lowest moments for His greatest work.
