Dr. Jensen opens up about his </em><strong><em>childhood in small-town Minnesota</em></strong><em>, the </em><strong><em>tragic loss of family members</em></strong><em>, his </em><strong><em>unexpected call into politics</em></strong><em>, and how </em><strong><em>faith and calling — not ambition — have guided his steps</em></strong><em>.
