136: All You Need Is a Heart to Serve, We Equip & Empower the Rest | Janet Everhart
Description
Janet Everhart, Director of Volunteer Programs at HealingStrong, joins host Jim Mann for a conversation that's equal parts practical guide and heartfelt encouragement. As the face behind the video curriculum and a nine-year veteran of the organization, Janet breaks down exactly what it takes to start and lead a Healing Strong support group, and spoiler: it's less than you think. She walks through the 12-lesson curriculum, the leader resources, the monthly support calls, mentors, chaplains, and prayer teams available to every group leader. She and Jim also discuss what makes HealingStrong groups different: the faith component, the holistic pillars, and the sense of community that makes people feel like they're at Disney World rather than fighting cancer. From meeting in a coffee shop to Zooming in from Nigeria or Trinidad and Tobago, this episode makes clear that if your area doesn't have a group, that might be your sign to start one.
HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE. We bring this hope through educational materials, webinars, guest speakers, conferences, community small group support and more.
