Your conversation w Andrea Burke on podcast Good Enough brought great hope to the mental health wellness of my family. Thank you for nudging me down this path as I seek support for family members struggling w OCD, Anxiety/Stress. I believe God wanted me to listen. You’re voice alone was a kindness admits this very challenging place I find myself in supporting those I love so much. Peace & thx
Noralee, I am so glad it did. I know that the road can be discouraging, but you are positioned to offer faithful love in ways that perhaps no one else can. This love is like God’s love (Gal 6:2; 1 John 3:11, 23), and I honor you for it. And thank you for leaving this note.
