Unshakable in Life’s Storms: The Power of Hope through Community

What happens when life doesn’t just challenge you, but it completely upends you?

In this episode, Karen and her husband Chris share their five-year journey through kidney failure, dialysis, and ultimately a life-saving transplant (through a chapter they wrote in the book Unshakeable). What began as a medical crisis became a profound lesson in resilience, faith, and the power of community.
