Jay Lowder's Faith Journey: Tackling Mental Health and Suicide with God’s Help | God Sized Stories

Welcome to another inspiring episode of "God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook."

In this episode, we are honored to have Jay Lowder as our special guest. 

Jay shares his powerful testimony of overcoming deep despair and finding God during his darkest moments.

Jay Lowder, a native Texan, grew up in the culturally-rich environment of the American South, where church life was a central part of his upbringing. In his community, attending church services multiple times a week was standard. This constant engagement with church was not just about the spiritual journey for everyone; for many, it was also a social hub. Jay's story reflects the unique social fabric of Southern life, where church attendance was as much about community as it was about faith.
