In 1964, Sam Cooke wrote a song that tells the tale of a time when he was trying to bring light to the struggles that he was facing. Through this song, he found a way to spread hope using his voice. Decades later this same song would serve as an encouragement to me during my challenging times.

I was asked why this song was so impactful to me, in this episode I share with you that reason.
