What happens when the person leading others in worship is quietly fighting to stay alive? In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with singer, songwriter, worship leader, and producer Baily Hager as she shares her journey through family brokenness, loss, suicidal thoughts, mental health treatment, and ultimately, healing. Baily opens up about the shame that once kept her suffering in silence, the courage it took to ask for help, and how God used faith, therapy, medication, community, and worship throughout her recovery. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always happen in a moment and Jesus isn’t simply waiting for us on the other side of our pain; He meets us in the middle of it and walks with us one day at a time.
