Health and Hardships | Mike Murray | Episode #166

Mike Murray is a Christian leader in the workplace and in his home. He and his wife are blessed with five wonderful children.

The Murray family has navigated some difficult health throughout their journey together. When they welcomed their first child, Mariana, they soon realized she was autistic and would require a great deal of care throughout her life. Fast forward many years, and their fourth child, Caroline, was diagnosed with cancer and immediately put through surgeries and radiation at the time.

With a strong faith background and an incredible Catholic community, Mike and his family persevered the tough times and continued to grow in faith, love, and holiness.

Mike's pro tips for surviving the tough stuff:

Invest in community building from the start.

Have sympathy for others, even when they react wildly to the hardships in their life.

Let people help you. It's good for you and for them.

Pray.
