In Episode 2, we speak with Timoethus and Kendra Pope about the traumatic healthcare journey that they have walked with their precious son, Judah, who has an unknown and currently untreatable condition called FIRES. Their realness and vulnerability is refreshing as they dive into topics like: how to establish routine at the hospital, how to intentionally engage medical staff, how parents are not defined by their child's condition, how to keep your child's diagnosis in perspective and how to lean on deep faith in God through it all.

TPope and Kendra are a dynamic duo who have been married since 2006. They reside in Rector, PA with their eight children. Timotheus Pope is the President/CEO of Citikidz, a Christian Sports Camp impacting urban youth and adults, while Kendra Pope is a Writer, Speaker, Coach, Jesus follower, Hope giver and Bridge Builder who blogs at WhenHopeIsReal.com.
