You all—have we got a TREAT for you! Not only do we have the wise and beloved Melissa Trevathan back, but we are thrilled to introduce you to another therapist and dear friend at Daystar. Don Logan is one of the most discerning, deeply devoted and dear human beings that we know. He helps kids and families (and Daystar staff) every single day discover more of the hope of Christ. And we have a feeling he will you, too! And, in this episode, he and Melissa together not only talk about how to give the teenagers we love an opportunity to experience purpose, but also share a very sweet story of how they met and how God (and Melissa) brought Don to Daystar!
