This summer, I\u2019m bringing back one of the episodes that changed everything for me. If you listened to Fear Is a Liar back in June, you remember the couple whose testimony stopped me from shutting this podcast down altogether. When I was ready to pack up the mic and call it quits, their story reminded me why Building Strong Homes exists in the first place \u2014 so real people can share real God stories that strengthen all of us. Today we\u2019re revisiting Glen and Kelly Daigle\u2019s journey \u2014 a story that proves God can take the darkest diagnoses, the deepest depressions, and the most tangled pasts and build something stronger, steadier, and more joy\u2011filled than we ever imagined. You wouldn\u2019t think a breast cancer diagnosis would lead a couple into a marriage that was more joyful than they could have ever imagined, but that\u2019s what happened with Glen and Kelly Daigle. They had both been married before they met and were ready for a fresh start, having each gone through difficulties with drugs and alcohol. Glen had recently finished a self-admitted time in rehab for alcohol addiction and Kelly was looking for a man who\u2019d been married, didn\u2019t have children and loved the Lord. Since Glen met all three requirements they dated and eventually married. But everything wasn\u2019t all rainbows and hearts. Glen spiraled into such a deep depression Kelly says many days she prayed she wouldn\u2019t come home to find that her husband had committed suicide. After Glen found help from counseling their lives were okay, but still not great. Neither of them had a strong relationship with God, they just did the bare minimum. Until Kelly\u2019s breast cancer diagnosis. Something changed in both of them as they realized the only thing they had to hold on to was Jesus, and they weren\u2019t letting Him go. There are so many ways that God showed up in each of their journeys that there\u2019s no denying the Hound of Heaven was pursuing them from the very beginning. If you feel like you\u2019ve messed up so badly that there\u2019s no promise of hope in your life anymore, this episode is for you.
