    Why does God Allow Suffering- Repost of Episode 7 :: Episode 34

    Why does God Allow Suffering- Repost of Episode 7 :: Episode 34

    If you or someone you love has cancer I don't need to persuade you that pain and suffering are real, that it can strike at any time, or that no one is immune to it. Our pain and heartache often leave us asking the big question, "Why does God allow suffering?"  Going back to episode 7 we look at the question behind this question; "What kind of God allows suffering?" 



     Here, as we go beyond unpacking the purely theological answer, we discover a God whose love is so deep and wide that it meets us in our pain and deals with the beliefs that trap us in it.// Listen in and discover a new side of the familiar Christmas message.

    Fasting from Sugar and Praying for Healing During Cancer

    Fasting from Sugar and Praying for Healing During Cancer

    You've likely heard that sugar literally feeds disease and you may have been told to cut out sugar altogether, but have you considered the spiritual benefits of fasting from sugar? 



    In this conversation with Wendy Speake, we consider what it would look like to stop running from sugar high to sugar high or beating ourselves up for every bite of sweetness and start running to The Most High during our battle with cancer.  




    Whether on the stage or on the page, Wendy ministers to women's hearts through storytelling and Biblical life application. With a background in Hollywood as a trained actress, she utilizes the power of drama, poetry, comedy, and spoken word in the study of God’s Word.

    Encore : For When Your Cancer Journey Feels Lonely :: [Episode 32]

    Encore : For When Your Cancer Journey Feels Lonely :: [Episode 32]

    With summer in full swing and travel opening up, people are on the move, which can mean loneliness sets in for those less able, too sick, or too immunocompromised to travel. 



    If that's you, then listen in to this episode from earlier in the year - Valentine's Day to be precise - when we talk and pray together through the loneliness of cancer.  



    David, who wrote this Psalm23, could say he wasn’t afraid of anything, not even the valley of the show of death. It wasn't because there was nothing there to be afraid of, but because he knew He wasn’t alone. These familiar words might be encouraging but at the same time, it's one of those bible verses that’s easy to believe when life is all roses and butterflies, but when the rubber (AKA cancer) hits the road… not so much.  



    The reality is, cancer is often a long dark journey through the shadow of death where it’s easy to feel alone. We wonder where God’s got to, and, however much our friends and family love us, we’re the only one that sits in the chemo chair or has the tumor growing inside us.  



    That’s why we’re tackling the battle with loneliness in this episode. 



    Asking and finding solutions to questions like;  As we journey through the shadow of death, why do we so often feel alone and what can we do about it?  How do we find the confidence to say I will fear no evil because I know I am not alone!! 



    Join us as we dive in and then pray through our guided prayer practice using the acronym TRUST. Listen in and strengthen your trust in God.

    Trusting God when He Doesn't Do What You Thought He'd Do :: [Episode 31]

    Trusting God when He Doesn't Do What You Thought He'd Do :: [Episode 31]

    What do you do when your child's dying of cancer and God doesn't answer your prayers or do what you thought he'd do? How can you trust him again? This unthinkable tragedy happened to Stacey Henagan, but somehow she managed to learn to trust God again. 



    In today's episode, she shares her story and how she manages to trust God today, before she prayers for us and with us.

    Encore : Dealing with Fear and Anxiety :: [Episode 30]

    Encore : Dealing with Fear and Anxiety :: [Episode 30]

    Fear, anxiety and worry come free of charge with every cancer diagnosis. We fear the unknown, the pain of surgery and recuperation, and the terrifying prospect of recurrence. We worry about leaving our kids behind, we fear for their futures as we worry about our own and we fear time might just be running out. 



    Fear tightens its grip with every ache, pain and scan. So what are we meant to do? How do we fight the fear? 



    Starting our summer series of interviews and most listened to episodes, I revisit our fear episode and we discover a roadmap for leaning into the fear before we pray using our TRUST guided prayer format and I offer a small invitation to move forward in the days ahead.

    Uncovering Purpose in Our Pain :: [Episode 29]

    Uncovering Purpose in Our Pain :: [Episode 29]

    Is there a purpose in the pain of our cancer? If so, how can we discover what it is? And the apostle James encourages us to "consider it pure joy...whenever we go through trials of any kind" but that's easier said than done. 



    This week, we dive into how James's words help us uncover what God is doing in our cancer and we unpack two questions that will always lead us to more - more of what God has for us. These questions always work to uncover the purposes God has for us.

AMAZING

Nikki is awesome! I can so relate as I started this journey almost 3 years ago. I love being able to share this place with others just starting the big C journey. This is a safe and reliable place to go and learn and receive comfort. There is no need to travel this road alone! Thank you Niki for taking the time and energy to make your podcast happen!
