Celeste McKinney is a registered nurse and mother of a 13 year old son who lives in Arizona. As a teenager she went through the devastating trauma of having a parent commit suicide. Celeste turned to alcohol and drugs to numb the pain, got in legal trouble, fought with suicidal thoughts, and struggled with anger toward God for her mother’s loss. God redeemed Celeste’s story and brought healing. Today Celeste is blessed to be able to help others in life and death situations. In this second of two broadcasts, Celeste and Mike continue their discussion and examine the critical issues that many are struggling with.
