Jackie Freeman recounts her experiences as a caregiver for her husband who battled stage four glioblastoma and how she discovered the strength and presence of the Lord during the hardest times. She also shares the transition from feeling responsible for fixing everything in life to learning to trust God fully. Jackie found solace and healing in unexpected places, including writing music and immersing herself in pickleball, which inspired her to write Pickleball Parables. The conversation touches on themes of surrender, God's faithfulness, and finding joy and purpose even in the midst of grief.
