How do you hold on to faith and embrace life beyond a cancer diagnosis?
In today’s episode, I sit down with Rachel Hanley to talk about her journey through metastatic cancer and the ways God, community, and personal growth shaped her experience. Diagnosed with stage two cancer in 2011, then stage 4 years later, Rachel shares how she navigated treatment, the role of daily prayer and devotionals in strengthening her faith, and the amazing ways God showed up in her hardest moments.
We also talk about what it means to live beyond the label of cancer—choosing joy, embracing gratitude, and finding purpose even when healing doesn’t come in the way we expect. Rachel’s story is full of wisdom, encouragement, and reminders to be kind to yourself in the process. If you're walking through a similar journey, I pray this conversation gives you hope.
