About this listen

On this episode of The Morning Hour of Prayer, we reflect on a heartbreaking tragedy at a McDonald’s in Eastpointe, Michigan—where a young employee took the life of her manager, Jennifer Harris, a mother of six.

But today, we’re not here for headlines. We’re here to ask: What happens when someone breaks spiritually? What happens when warning signs are ignored, and pain turns to violence?

Through Scripture, reflection, and compassion, we explore the intersection of faith and mental health. We read from the Psalms, we talk about the spirit of disturbance and emotional torment, and we urge those who are struggling to seek help—before pain turns to destruction.
