After more than 20 years working in the medical field, Mary made a major career change and went back to school to become a counselor. Along the way, God used running, community and new friendships to change the direction of her life. Mary even says she “got saved through running.”
Today, Mary serves as a counselor at Rockford Rescue Mission, where she practices Christian counseling and works with people in recovery. In this conversation, she shares more of her story and talks about faith, mental health, trauma and why healing doesn’t always happen all at once.
The Way Home is a podcast from Rockford Rescue Mission featuring conversations about faith, leadership, personal growth and the people who make up the Mission.
