Finding God's Love and Comfort in Deepest Pain: Jody Hudson E121

Jodi Hudson, author, speaker, and Lyme disease advocate, shares how her daughter, Alex, endured a 10-year medical mystery, saw 40 doctors, and faced misdiagnoses before being diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2017. Jodi shares the intimacy Alex developed with the Lord throughout her suffering and how Alex’s conviction that God hadn’t forgotten her brought deep spiritual transformation to others. Alex passed away from complications of the disease at the age of 22 in 2018. Jodi reflects on God’s presence, moving from grief to testimony through Alex’s legacy in her memoir, My Promise to Alex.
