In this powerful episode of Bleeding Daylight, host Rodney Olsen sits down with Tiffany L. Jones, author of "The Cursed Brain," a devotional helping young adults navigate mental health challenges through faith. Tiffany shares her deeply personal journey of battling depression and intrusive thoughts since childhood, growing up in a home where mental health struggles were normalized, and finding herself exhausted from trying to manage her pain alone.

After years of believing she wasn't a "good enough Christian" because prayer and scripture study didn't cure her depression, Tiffany reached a breaking point and finally asked for help. Through professional therapy, medication, physical wellness, and authentic Christian community, she discovered healing and learned to fight the right enemy. Now she's dedicated to helping others know they're not too broken to heal, sharing hope through her writing, speaking, and youth ministry work.

In this deeply moving episode, Jacke Rose shares the heartbreaking story of January 15, 2016, when her life changed forever. What began as an ordinary evening with family quickly turned into an unimaginable nightmare when her son Randy, a gentle and godly man, committed a violent act against his own family before taking his own life. Jacke walks us through the horrific phone calls, the rush to the hospital, and the moment she realized her worst fear as a mother had come true.

But this isn't just a story of tragedy—it's a testament to the power of hope and healing. After caring for traumatized grandchildren and processing her own complex grief, Jacke founded Grieving Moms Finding Hope, a ministry that has transformed the lives of mothers worldwide. Through her 12-week study program and retreats, she guides women from the darkest corners of despair to places of joy, laughter, and purpose. Jacke's story proves that even after life's most devastating landslides, it's possible to not just survive, but to help others find light in their darkness.
