The word cancer is loaded. When we hear the word, all sorts of images pop up in our minds. Our emotions start racing and we start thinking about the future differently.
My guest today, Mike Knebel, has dealt with cancer. And recovery. And then cancer again. And then recovery again.
In this episode, he shares about his faith, his humor, his wife and kids, and the entire process of fighting cancer.
Mike Knebel is a husband, father, Christ follower, self-described bourbon expert, thrice failed political candidate, and reluctant Husker fan.
