Inside KBlend Infusions: Chris’s Journey and the Choice to Change

Allison was ready to leave after Disney. COVID bought them time to find treatment. Chris describes the inward journey, the struggle with control, and the choice to change—until intimacy gives Allison a word for what she has been trying to explain.

The KBlend Show — Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 1 p.m. Eastern.

She had a plan. Then they caught COVID.

Come home from Disney. Take the boys. Leave.

Allison had reached that point. The trip that was supposed to bring happy memories had exposed how far apart they had become. Then they caught COVID, and she could not go.

As Allison tells it, that unexpected delay kept them together. It bought the time to find treatment—and gave a marriage on the edge another chance.

Inside KBlend Infusions

Chris describes what it felt like, the struggle with control, and the choice to change. Allison shares what that journey meant to the family waiting on the other side.

Set a Premiere Reminder

Wanting help. Trying to control what comes next.

Chris worried that he would not qualify. Then, when an appointment became possible, he searched for answers to every question. What should he do before an infusion? What should he do afterward? How could he make sure he got it right?

He wanted to get better. Letting go of control was another matter.

His account takes us into the experience in vivid detail: the nerves before his first appointment, unexpected comfort, intense imagery, and a painful belief that he was not good enough. He describes the personal meaning he took from those moments and the difficulty of opening himself to something different.

If you are considering KBlend infusions, his story offers a chance to hear one person put words to the journey—and to form questions of your own.

The word that makes Allison gasp

Near the end, John names intimacy. Allison gasps in recognition.

There is a word for the change she has been trying to describe. A way of being together that makes room for vulnerability, instead of trying to manage each other.

Listen for that moment. It brings Chris’s inward experience and Allison’s experience of their marriage into the same conversation. What did his choices begin to make possible between them?

What quietly disappears when getting through becomes enough?

Chris’s story reaches beyond a treatment room. He describes discovering an interest in painting wood lawn art—something playful that makes the neighbors smile. Someone at church noticed. The hobby became a way to contribute to Sunday school.

He and Allison now teach three-, four-, and five-year-olds at church. Their marriage has become a place from which they serve together. Asked whether he would once have imagined himself there, Chris describes a life he would not have expected.

Then there is singing. He says he used to go to church, listen, and go home without feeling a connection to praise or worship. He recalls choosing to sing despite feeling awkward—and discovering that participation mattered to him.

Creativity. Shared purpose. The emotion of worship. These are easy things to leave out of a conversation about whether someone is “doing better.” Chris’s account raises a harder question: what precious parts of life can quietly disappear while we keep adjusting to getting through?
