Because adversity isn’t your enemy, it’s your advantage. In this episode, I’m breaking down how the hardest moments of your life can become the fuel that elevates you, strengthens you, and prepares you for the future you’ve been praying for. Pain shapes perspective. Struggle builds resilience. Challenges reveal the strength you didn’t know you had. You weren’t meant to stay broken. You were meant to rise stronger. We’re talking about shifting your mindset, finding purpose in the pain, and using every setback as a setup for the greatest version of yourself. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in a hard season, this message will remind you that nothing you’ve faced has been wasted. Your adversity is shaping the leader, warrior, and champion you were created to be. It's RehabTime… let’s get it.
