A tough decision, a final goodbye, and the gravity of Good Friday in this week's recap of the events leading to Jeremy's ultimate healing.

Middle school is tough enough, but at 15 and 12 years of age, Emma and AJ also had to process a father that was dying, a mother that was doing her best to hold it all together, and the uncertainty of not knowing what tomorrow holds. Listen to the Powell girls discuss the good and bad of processing the trauma, and what they would recommend to others experiencing similar circumstances.

Jodi is faced with hard decisions, Jeremy gains a half-inch in height, and they both get to fly private for the first time... just not like they had hoped.

Finally admitted to the NIH, Jeremy begins having intense hallucinations involving gun battles in the hallway and a human trafficking ring that was targeting Jodi.

As Jeremy tries to push through the illness, his symptoms just get worse. Jodi pushes to get the National Institutes of Health involved. Jeremy pushes back.

There may still be a little tension...

An "act normal" mentality, COVID-19 pandemic, and memories of a past infection pushed the Powell family right to the edge before they finally got the diagnosis. A diagnosis that would change their lives forever.

The Power of Community: We weren't meant to do this alone. It is true you become like the people you hang out with. How good Christian community helped make us who we are, and continues to develop us into the men and women God desires us to be.

Jeremy and Jodi discuss a mentality that is born in all of us: the desire to portray ourselves as something other than we are in order to keep people from thinking otherwise. It took a fever of 108 degrees and a near death experience to literally burn this mentality out of our heads.
