Carrying Each Other: How Chronic Illness Affects Caregivers

Caregivers are so much more than visitors!

Caregivers have their own unique stories. They have emotions that are unique and fears that are unique and needs that are unique. Let’s not forget the Caregivers when we talk about living with chronic illness. They are quite literally the hands and feet of Jesus and we cannot make it through crisis without them.

Today, I have for you TWO video interviews for Caregivers. If you have a loved one living with chronic illness or a friend in crisis, we love you, and these interviews are for you.

Life Behind a Face Mask: a Video Conversation with Katherine Smith

Blogger and undiagnosed disease survivor, Katherine Smith, bubbles over with joy. How does she do that? Well, it’s a God-thing.

We chat about living with chronic illness (Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis and Adrenal Fatigue), life behind a face mask, and how our community can best support us during times of isolation.

Thrive, Don't Just Survive: a Conversation with Niki Hardy

Niki Hardy wanted to stop merely surviving. She wanted to start thriving.

“Yes, Jesus came to give me abundant life but I’m in a storm right now, that he also said we’d have, so I’m gonna get through this storm and then abundant life will be waiting for me when I’m through this.” So we start waiting. But, for so many Cancer Thrivers, they didn’t know it would ever be over. This is true for people with depression too or chronic pain or a child with special needs that are very challenging. These things aren’t going to go away. What these Thrivers helped me realize is that this abundant life that God has for us is available right now in the middle of this storm.

Stop waiting, live the abundant life now.
