Lynn was raised in the church, but at about the age of 15, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and addictions began to take over her life.  After 35 years of a life of devastation, she felt like life wasn’t worth living. Friends prayed for her life.  Soon after her release from a mental institution, she had a powerful encounter with God and got set free!
