Personal Revival

Jan 23, 2024

Personal Revival

Jaz Balan struggled to see herself clearly. She based her identity on her performance in basketball and how others viewed her. Then she tore her Achilles' heel. Unable to play the sport she loved, she grew angry — at God, herself, and others around her.

The turning point came through participation in the National Training Camp. She arrived at the event with an open heart, despite her previous anger and frustration. This openness to healing and connection became instrumental in her personal recovery journey.
