The Westside Podcast—featuring Jonathan Hansen

The Gift of Perspective

Join Pastor Randy Frazee for an intimate and powerful conversation with Lindsey Roy, author of "The Gift of Perspective." In this inspiring episode, Lindsey shares her extraordinary journey through not one, but two life-altering health crises that reshaped her understanding of faith, purpose, and perspective.

Lindsey opens up about the devastating 2013 boating accident that resulted in the amputation of her left leg below the knee and severe damage to her right leg. With remarkable candor, she recounts the physical and emotional challenges of her recovery, and how this first crisis began reshaping her worldview and deepening her faith.

But Lindsey's story takes an unexpected turn as she reveals her second battle—a rare and life-threatening lung condition in 2021 that ultimately led to a double lung transplant. Pastor Randy guides the conversation through this second mountain Lindsey had to climb, exploring how her earlier experiences prepared her for this new challenge.

Throughout the discussion, Lindsey shares:

• How her faith not only sustained her but grew exponentially during these trials
• The spiritual insights that emerged from physical suffering
• Practical wisdom for finding purpose in pain
• The unexpected gifts discovered in life's darkest moments
• How her relationship with God transformed through vulnerability and surrender

This conversation goes beyond mere inspiration to offer authentic hope for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. Lindsey's story reminds us that our greatest difficulties often become the soil from which our deepest faith and most meaningful perspectives grow.

By understanding how these strongholds form and recognizing their impact on our lives, we can begin the journey to break free. This message emphasizes the importance of embracing discomfort, taking courageous action, and seeking authentic relationships to dismantle these barriers.
