Faith, Hope, and Love Through Trials with Melinda Brown
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with a very special guest: my mom, Melinda Brown! We share a funny story about receiving a literal "sign" in the middle of TJ Maxx, which led us into a beautiful conversation about the spiritual side of resilience.
We also explore why "Faith, Hope, and Love" are more than just cute words on a coffee mug—they actually play a vital role in the Biopsychosocial-Spiritual Model of Resilience. Since we are sharing our own stories today, we will be talking about this through the lens of our Christian faith, but this conversation is for absolutely everyone!
