We are often reminded to put our faith in God to find healing. On this episode we hear a testimony from Lynne Holcomb that highlights the necessity for faith in times of crisis. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer—one of the deadliest forms of an already lethal disease— Lynne has beaten what could have been a life sentence.

Through the constant reminder of God's grace from family, friends, members of her Church, and even strangers, Lynne has outlived her diagnosis and wants to use her experience to help others.

“Don’t give up. God doesn’t want you to give up.” - Lynne Holcomb

Lynne was in the shape of her life, working as a personal trainer and teaching kickboxing for 25 years when she was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and given 3-6 months to live.

After receiving this life sentence, a nurse informed Lynne that faith could get her through the ordeal. Lynne recognized in this moment that the nurse was delivering God’s message of reassurance.
In the three years since her diagnosis, Lynne has been reminded by her support system of God's ability to heal her. Additionally, she has had her own conversations with Him in which she has found great comfort.
A clinical trial ended up not only stopping Lynne's cancer from spreading, but actually got rid of her tumors.

Lynne beating stage 4 pancreatic cancer is a reminder that miracles do happen, and she is passionate about sharing her story to remind others of God's ability to heal. Indeed, her own journey was paved with reminders from others of His grace. Though a harrowing experience, Lynne's ordeal should be a story of hope to all who hear it. Even when all odds seem to be stacked against us, God has the power to help us. What must keep fighting, and continue to have faith.

Miracle at Exxon: A Lesson in Forgiveness

After a traumatic experience, you have to remember to take care of your emotional wounds, as well as your physical ones. It’s easy to experience anger, misery, and resentment, but you have to let those things go if you want to find peace and joy. How do you go about doing this? How do you process and heal the hurt? On this episode, I reflect on my own experience of forgiveness and share some of the things that have worked for me. Ultimately, forgiveness is a decision.

God draws close to the broken hearted. I share just a few of the examples of how He was there for me in the midst of things, how prayer was an important piece of the healing, and how he used me to bless others even when I didn't see it coming.

Colossians 3:13 " bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."

A True Blessing in Disguise w/Denise Hammond

Denise Hammond was kicked in the head by her horse and thrown 40 feet one morning during her work on her farm. Shortly after, she received her CT results to find not only a severe concussion, but something much more serious, and completely unexpected. The journey that followed over the next 2 years was one of revelation, extensive surgery, complications, and rehabilitation, and an even stronger faith in a God who was with her every step of the way. Listen and hear about how her faith equipped her and sustained her for her trial.

"It doesn't matter what your trial is, its significant to God. The key is to bring it to Him, allow Him to carry it. He allows it for a greater purpose." -Denise Hammond
