What happens when your faith is tested for years through trauma, medical crises, unanswered questions, and the suffering of your children?

In this deeply moving episode of the Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast, Heidi sits down with Holly Meisner — president of the Minnesota Christian Chamber and co-owner of His Healing House — to talk about the intersection of faith, suffering, healing, and whole-person health.

Holly vulnerably shares how her relationship with Jesus began at age five, how her faith was radically refined through a decade of navigating her children's severe health challenges, and what it looked like to keep trusting God when outcomes were uncertain.

Together, Heidi and Holly explore trauma, surrender, nervous system healing, functional medicine, spiritual healing, and the importance of addressing root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Holly also shares powerful testimonies from her holistic clinic, where faith, trauma-informed care, and physical healing come together in transformative ways.

This conversation is honest, hope-filled, grounded, and deeply encouraging for anyone walking through suffering, burnout, chronic stress, or a season where faith feels stretched thin.

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it… But even if He does not, we will not serve other gods." — Bible
