## Resource

Welcome to Heart of the Matter Radio/Podcast. Does inner steel have a breaking point? For today, I stepped back in time to cover one of the most misunderstood women in history: Mary Lincoln. Brilliant and fiercely devoted, Mary was 'high-strung' and the pressures she faced dropped her into overwhelming grief. Today we look at her with eyes of compassion and a prayerful heart. Sometimes the strongest among us carry the deepest scars on their heart.
