In this powerful and uplifting episode of The Positive Gene Podcast, Sara sits down with worship pastor and musician David Curtis to explore how faith can be a source of strength in the face of life’s toughest challenges. David candidly shares his journey through his cancer diagnoses in 2017 and 2023, supporting his wife during her breast cancer battle in 2020, and balancing family life with the demands of ministry—all while leaning on God for guidance and peace.  

David's story is one of courage, community, and the impact of a grateful heart. In this heartfelt conversation, he opens up about:

  • His initial reaction to his cancer diagnoses and how his faith in God and the support of his community helped him overcome fear.
  • Managing the emotional and practical aspects of caregiving while continuing his responsibilities as a father and worship pastor.
  • Keeping an open heart in the face of uncertainty and the value of expressing gratitude, even during life’s hardest moments.
  • The intersection of faith and medical science, and finding peace in accepting both spiritual support and medical interventions.

Through laughter, reflection, and wisdom, David reminds us of the vital role of God’s presence and the power of community in navigating our health struggles. This episode is a faith-filled message of hope, resilience, and the importance of turning to God in our most difficult times. Listen in and find the encouragement you need to take that next step forward.
