What do you do when a sudden mental health crisis makes you question everything you know about a loving God?

This week, Sarah Fox, mental health advocate and host of the Rough Edges podcast, joins Jaime for an eye-opening and deeply transparent conversation about the realities of navigating bipolar disorder as a believer.

In this episode, Sarah shares the unique, often isolating, and complex challenges that Christians face when dealing with a mental health diagnosis. She opens up about the heartbreaking reality of experiencing a manic crisis, the fear of judgment from within the walls of the church, and the profound struggle of wrestling with anger and confusion toward God after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Sarah also unpacks incredible insights on resilience that prove God can handle our heaviest doubts and darkest moments. From finding unexpected intimacy with the Lord in the depths of depression to untangling spiritual sensationalism from clinical mania, this conversation highlights the unbreakable faithfulness of God. She also introduces powerful, practical ways for the church community to show up and intercede for those who are struggling—without over-spiritualizing the pain or offering simple platitudes.

You'll walk away inspired by Sarah's courageous faith, reminded that God's strength shines brightest in our weakest moments, and equipped with practical ways to support loved ones facing mental health battles.

Check out this scene where New Yorkers exchange greeting cards in the middle of the sidewalk. It’s so heartwarming! And it is a great reminder of people coming together and looking out for one another, even in the midst of the busy streets of New York City.

The video recently went viral on Instagram after a Walgreens went out of business and dumped bags of unsold greeting cards onto the sidewalk outside. That’s when a group of women came upon the trashed cards and started sorting through them together.

They all began to organize the cards and distribute them amongst themselves. The women happily helped each other find wedding, birthday, get well, and religious cards for each other, working together to help each other with their specific needs. What a beautiful act of kindness!

“Shower? Anyone want a wedding shower?” says one of the women in the group.

“Anything with faith and Jesus and God, I’ll take,” says another woman.

“If you see ‘Happy Birthday,’ pass it to me,” states someone else.

What Happens When People Help Each Other

Everyone had their own specific desires for what cards they would like, and the whole group worked together to help each other out. No one had to do it; they genuinely wanted to. And it’s clear to see why this video, where New Yorkers exchange greeting cards, went viral and made people on the internet smile.

“We’re really getting to know each other,” says one woman as the cards are getting passed around on the sidewalk.

“Love is a beautiful thing,” responds someone else.

How wonderful it is to look out for what each other needs. And what a great reminder for how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day.

Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

It never gets old to see a random act of kindness. Check out this incredible rescue! A stranger saves a paralyzed dog found trapped in a ravine after fireworks scared him.

In this news report, we see a young mom standing in her driveway, ready to help find a lost pet. A reporter is standing there next to Amelia Brettenbach. This stranger saves a paralyzed dog. The drone is utilized by Amelia to help discover missing animals with AI, night vision, and to see from angles that are challenging. 

There is then a portion from a social media post that reads about the thankfulness of the owner of Gandalf the dog. This German Shepherd is paralyzed in his hind legs. During the Fourth of July fireworks, Gandalf escaped in fear and went missing. Amelia stepped in to help with her drone. The mother of three children shares how she saw some heat spots on the drone camera, but could not tell what it was until they looked to discover Gandalf the dog. The sweet pup was found hiding in the leaves on the ground, afraid. 

Amelia Explains Her Volunteer Outreach

Amelia goes on to share how she does this for hundreds of people for free. This is her volunteer outreach to help others. Some families donate batteries for her drone. She is even called upon by the police and local rescue teams. They go on to recap a time when cows were lost on the interstate. Amelia kept a close eye on the cows. Another time, there was a carjacking with a dog named Lucky. She drove all the way to North Carolina from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to help find the dog. This is a woman on a mission, and she is helping so many be reunited with their precious pets. 

As you witness this stranger saving a paralyzed dog, be encouraged. Scripture tells us to care for the earth and have dominion over the animals within it. God has gifted Amelia with the ability to care for animals and ultimately their owners in a unique way. May this video inspire you to use your time and skills to bless others, too.

It is always precious to see little ducklings. Check out this video as NYPD officers rescue eleven ducklings from a storm drain at the police academy.

At the start of this video, we see young officers in the police academy putting their training into practice. Watch as NYPD Officers Rescue Eleven Ducklings. They are gathered around a drain and hearing tiny peeps from ducklings. The team removes the drain cover so that they will be able to descend and help remove the animals from peril. 

A female officer begins to slowly descend into the hole. You see as she passes one baby duck at a time out of the drain. She counts each one as she passes it to her teammates. The precious babies then waddle around, and you see them with their mother. The officer calls out to the mama duck, “I have two more mom, don’t leave yet.” She discovers two more adorable baby ducklings. 

How Small Things Can Make a Big Difference

Watch as NYPD Officers Rescue Eleven Ducklings. You will then see the mother duck walking on the sidewalk with the adorable parade of eleven rescued ducklings who are happily waddling behind their mother. The police officers in training did a great job, and this might just be the cutest rescue of their careers. You can hear the students giggling in the background with delight as the animals toddle around together with glee.

Witnessing this rescue reminds us that even the seemingly small things that we do can make a big difference. These officers noticed a need, and they met it. They did not ignore them because they are just baby ducks. When we look around our own lives, may this act inspire us to see those around us and take the opportunities that seem mundane or insignificant and glorify God with them. He can use the smallest moments for spiritual victories.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31

Princess of Wales Kate Middleton shares a unique way she relaxed during cancer treatment, and it’s not something you’d think about a princess doing. The princess found that using colors to draw pictures brought her peace in the midst of discomfort. Watch the video to see the joy on Kate’s face as she recalls the experience. 

"I didn't have the ability to read or do anything,” Kate shared with other cancer patients. “Coloring was my way of exploring interesting things and be able to do something that did not require an end product, just a way of playing and losing yourself.”

Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in 2024, after a planned abdominal surgery. She went into remission in 2025. 

“At the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous,” Kate Middleton said during cancer treatment in 2024. “The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.”

What Kate Middleton Is Up to Now

Last year, she expressed that while she’s in remission, she is still focused on recovery, as it takes time for the body to adjust after chemotherapy. She also thanked everyone who supported her in her cancer journey.

On her recent visit with cancer patients, Kate, a mother of three young kids, also comforted a young mother who is going through treatment. 

She said, “Meeting patients, families, and staff was a powerful reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment alone. A cancer diagnosis affects every part of life, in mind, body, and the deeper part of ourselves. The way we process fear, uncertainty, and change is deeply personal. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for the compassion, creativity, and dedication shown every day across the hospital."

It’s surely reassuring for UK cancer patients to see that their princess went through the same struggles they’re going through. She’s not a thing on a pedestal—but a person, just like them.

Brad Willey has an incredible Christian miracle story for anyone needing hope today. His story shows how God’s hand was in his life after a crazy near-death experience. Watch the video to hear him share his amazing testimony. 

Brad was trapped in a small room on the side of a mountain when a landslide occurred, and he became trapped underwater. Somehow, beyond his recollection, he came through a roof escape hatch. He says he didn’t even know it was there.  

“It felt like God reached and pulled me out,” Brad explained. He was under the water for three minutes. He could only think about how scared he was of going to hell and begged God to save him.

God Was Not Done Saving Him

For the next six months, he carried a Bible around with him but never opened it. He got into a bad relationship and fell into drugs. After three years, he quit that lifestyle. He got a new job and prayed and asked God to send someone to tell him about him if he really does exist. 

That day, he heard God’s voice. He turned around and told a person next to him, a stranger, and told him, “If you know Jesus, you need to tell me.” The man started bawling because God had been telling him to go to one more town, to tell one more person. And so he shared the gospel with Brad. 

From then on, his life really changed for good. He started to listen to Christian speakers and attend church. Now, he says his reasons for living are to “share Jesus Christ and love my family.”

It is so inspiring to hear stories like Brad’s. He could have died, but God saved him. His journey back to God wasn’t quick or easy, but eventually Brad found out what it’s like to truly know Him. And now, he’s never turning back.

It is not every day that a young person looks outside of their world to those who might be forgotten. This video reminds us of the kindness that can go a long way in friendship. Watch as this football player asks a cheerleader with Down syndrome to homecoming.

At the start of this clip, you see a precious young woman with Down syndrome who is on the field with her cheerleading squad. She is very caught off guard as a young man in a number 33 football uniform walks over with a poster and flowers. The poster reads, “Cheer me up & go to HOCO with me.” 

The young woman is emotional. She goes to get the flowers and hugs him, and turns her face toward the crowd. You see such a big smile on her face, and everyone cheers. You see someone put a tiara on the flower bouquet. Then, there is a photo of the two of them, and she has the tiara on, flowers in hand, and a football player by her side. It is a young woman’s dream.

That’s Not the End of the Story

Suddenly, there is a fast-forward moment of this girl, all dolled up with her hair done and a gorgeous maroon dress on. She walks through her house and sees her date for the homecoming. It is emotional watching her run to him because she is so thrilled. She gives him a big hug. The two are seen standing together for a photo with another boy, and then they are shown out to dinner. 

Seeing how this boy cared for and encouraged this girl is inspiring. She may not have typically been a person who would be seen and chosen. His notice and kindness towards her are a motivation to us in our lives. We can look around at people who may not be recognized or seen and show the love of Christ to them. 

“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4
