Becoming Unapologetic Special Edition

Finding God in Darkness: The Fight for My Mind, My Faith, and My Life
 
What happens when the person everyone sees as strong is quietly falling apart?
 
In this deeply personal chapter, Jalima Cook shares the truth behind years of silently battling anxiety, depression, shame, and suicidal thoughts while continuing to serve, lead, care for her family, and show up for everyone around her.
 
On June 10, 2017, with 57 pills in her possession and a mind telling her to give up, Jalima found herself facing a life-or-death decision. One honest prayer “God, help me” became the beginning of a journey from silent survival to healing, freedom, and transformation.
 
Finding God in Darkness is a testimony of what can happen when we stop performing strength, tell the truth about our pain, and allow God to meet us in the places we thought would disqualify us from His love.
 
This chapter offers a powerful reminder: darkness does not mean God has abandoned you. You are not beyond His reach, your struggle is not the end of your story, and the place that nearly took you out may become the very place where your purpose and legacy begin.
