Episode 12 (Season 3) Beauty of the Heart: Hope Heals with Katherine and Jay Wolf

About the Episode:
Katherine and Jay talk about her stroke and the impact that experience has had on their faith and how they have turned that trauma into a place of healing through their ministry, Hope Heals. From creating new dreams, to experiencing miracles, to the profound understanding that God made us to do hard things in the Good Story, suffering changes you. Katherine and Jay discuss the choice we have in life to decide that “this is Plan A”, the story that God is writing is great, and there is joy in the commitment to marriage and humility even through hardship and different seasons. If you are struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out to deeplight@pcpc.org or 214-224-2500.

About Our Guests:
Katherine and Jay Wolf are survivors, communicators, and advocates. Originally from the South, the two met in college, married, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue law school for Jay and the entertainment industry for Katherine. Their son James was born in 2007, and just six months later, Katherine miraculously survived a catastrophic stroke caused by a congenital brain defect she never knew she had. After a sixteen-hour brain surgery, forty-days in the ICU, a year in neuro rehab, and eleven operations, she continues her recovery to this day. In 2015, she gave birth to miracle baby, John.

Since 2008, they have been disrupting the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life through speaking events, best-selling books, a thriving online community, and Hope Heals Camp for families affected by disability. Today, they live in Atlanta with their two boys. Find out more at www.HopeHeals.com.
