Our problems and our life are a gift. They are our curriculum.

They are where we will learn the deepest lessons, where our bitterness will be turned into

compassion for others.

Welcome to the Jesus Calling Podcast.

Our first guest, Patsy Clermont, is a renowned author, speaker, and one of the founding

speakers for women of faith.

Patsy's early years were marked by severe anxiety and depression, whispering prayers of desperation

for anything to help her through this time.

She was surprised by the small simple steps God gave her that helped her emerge from the darkness. The surprises would continue

to come as she moved from barely being able to leave the house to speaking to millions of people,

inspiring them with her humor, wisdom, and stories of overcoming.

Later in the episode, we'll hear from Gil Shenzel, known as the National Park Mom,

after her daughter, Anna, passed away from neuroendocrine cancer at the young age of 21.

Gill embarked on a heartfelt mission to raise awareness for this rare disease.

Hill honors Anna's memory and brings home to others facing similar battles.
