36. Talk with Dekesha Bridgeforth - if I’m still here, I’m here for a purpose!

July 14, 2024 • 16 mins

Thank you so very much, my dear sister Dekesha for being our most recent Podcast guest! Dekesha shares her incredible testimony of God bringing her through getting diagnosed with Stage 3B breast cancer in April 2021. She subsequently went through getting 21 of her lymph nodes removed (resulting in lymphedema), 11 rounds of chemo (starting just a week before her 45th birthday) and 32 days of radiation! Dekesha shared so many words of wisdom nuggets and I will always be deeply grateful for her words of encouragement and her testimonies of the Lord’s faithfulness! Her amazing nuggets (in the nutshell) were: 1. Not knowing doesn’t change your outcome! Just get what you need to get done DONE! 2. It’s mind over matter and we overthink a lot of things… 3. Find something to believe in outside of yourself!
