how to cope with a cancer diagnosis

In episode #5 of A Faithful God Podcast, I sit down with my friend, Jennifer Lane from The Cancer Bomb, to share her story of how cancer exploded into her family.

In just four short years, Jennifer had seven family members and close friends diagnosed with cancer; some who’ve gone home to be with the Lord, and others who have made it through and are cancer free.

Jennifer shares that when her father was diagnosed, they capitalized on the time they had left and made a bucket list. Not only did they cross everything off that list, but they were able to go on to complete a second one before her dad was called home!

I’m grateful to Jennifer for her vulnerability and honesty and how she found that through it all, her relationship with God grew stronger. 

When she and her family were looking for resources to help them navigate all the doctor’s visits, there was nothing to be found, so she set out and created The Cancer Binder to help patients and families beat the overwhelm associated with a cancer diagnosis. 

This episode was so fun to record and I have to tell you that I included a “blooper reel” at the very end where we talked about the guest that showed up outside their house while we were recording! 

Yep, it was that bear in the picture below!

Lord, Help My Unbelief: A Prayer When Faith Feels Hard

You’ve prayed about it more times than you can count.

At first, you prayed with confidence. You believed God was working even when you couldn’t yet see it. But now you’re praying about the same situation for the third year in a row.

And somewhere in the middle of another prayer, you think, “I don’t even know if I believe this will change anymore.”

Almost as quickly as you think it, the guilt creeps in. I mean, what kind of Christian doubts God while she prays?

Maybe nothing is really wrong.

You’re getting up in the morning, going to work, making dinner. You’re answering texts, taking care of the people you love and doing the things that need to get done.

And you’re even praying. 

But somewhere along the way, you realize you’re going through the motions more than actually enjoying any of it — and you miss feeling like yourself.
