Summary
Originally produced as an exclusive for PRAY.com, Victor and his wife, Eileen, share about Victor’s struggles with mental health resulting from horrific abuse he experienced growing up. While he initially was diagnosed as bipolar, he said God has healed his mind and renewed it with His word. The couple also discusses the strain on their marriage when triggers brought Victor's past pain to the surface and why they are still together today — and thriving! This is a must-hear for anyone battling mental or emotional scars and those who are their caregivers, so listen in!
