If you live with chronic illness, you know how strange it feels to look fine on the outside—while fighting invisible battles within. Maybe you learn to smile through pain. Plan your days around fatigue. Wonder if you can do what someone else could easily say yes to.  Some days, you might ask yourself, "Does my chronic illness exclude me from pursuing my passion or limit my dreams?" 🎙️ In this Treasures of Darkness episode, Dr. Wai Jia sits down with her husband, Cliff Tam—a liver-cancer-and-transplant survivor, Ironman triathlete, missionary to some of Africa's hardest places, and father—to talk about what it means to live between fear and faith when chronic illness never really "goes away." They talk about: ✨ Cliff's liver transplant at age 10—and the "GREAT!" birthday cake he ate in ICU ✨ Why he calls the Ironman "totally possible—but very boring" 😅 ✨ The health crises that shook our marriage—before our proposal and again in Tanzania ✨ What it means to trust God when healing isn't guaranteed  ✨ How faith can transform fear into peace   Links: Order your copy of DREAM BRAVE at your favorite retailer here: www.kitedreams.org/dreambrave  Connect with @tamwaijia on Instagram Connect with Wai Jia on Facebook
