Aaron McRae is a local pastor and father to Kate McRae. If you’ve watched Dr. Phil recently you might know Kate McRae is a beautiful, 5-year-old girl who in 2009 was diagnosed with a massive tumor on the left temporal lobe of her brain. In that moment Aaron, his wife Holly and three kids’ (Olivia 7, Kate 5, Will 4) world was turned upside down.
We talk with Aaron about his story, what the last 16 months have looked like, a parent’s worst fear, the response from the church and pushing forward with faith.
