Summary

My guest for The Happy Hour #317 is Kayla Stoecklein. In August of 2018, Kayla lost her husband, Andrew—pastor of Inland Hills Church in Chino, California—to suicide. In the wake of the tragedy, she embarked on a brave journey to better understand his harrowing battle with mental illness and, ultimately, to overcome the stigma of suicide. She also has a book releasing on September 8th called Fear Gone Wild. For the full summary and details on pre-ordering Kayla's book, click the link below!

0:22.8	Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the happy hour. Today's guest is someone I have been

0:33.2	saw her at Catalyst West back in April of 2019. I saw her on stage sharing her story and I
