When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan | Linda Plunkett

When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan | Linda Plunkett5 days ago52 min

What happens when someone who has spent years helping other people suddenly becomes the one searching for hope?

Linda Plunkett spent nearly two decades counseling others and helping people through difficult seasons of life. Then her own life changed dramatically when doctors discovered a tennis-ball-sized tumor in her frontal lobe.

Following brain surgery, Linda faced chronic pain, fibromyalgia, seizures, memory problems and periods when she wasn't sure what her future would look like. Along the way, she also confronted difficult questions about faith, suffering, fear and what it means to trust God when prayers aren't answered the way we expect.

In this conversation with Joe, Linda shares how becoming a patient changed her perspective as a counselor, why she believes we should be careful about judging struggles we cannot see, and how adversity forced her to wrestle honestly with her Christian faith.

They also discuss the importance of seeking appropriate medical opinions and options, the relationship between body, mind and spirit, forgiveness, boundaries, anxiety, unanswered prayer and learning to live with circumstances we never planned for.
