Cancer, I’m Still Grateful

Episode 16 - God Has No Limitations

Episode 16: God Has No Limitations What do you do when you believe God can heal you, but you're terrified He won't? In this episode, we tackle that exact fear head-on. After a powerful "God-incidence" during church, we explore Matthew 17:20 and the truth that God has no limits—none. But here's the twist: His limitlessness isn't just about changing our circumstances. Sometimes the miracle isn't the mountain moving; it's God's presence with us in the darkness. Through the stories of Stephen being stoned, Daniel in the lions' den, and the profound truth of Psalm 63:3 ("Your steadfast love is better than life"), we discover that God can fill us with joy and peace even when our situation hasn't changed. He doesn't need your scan to come back clean to give you peace. He doesn't need your conditions to be favorable to make you whole. If you've ever feared that God might not answer your prayer the way you hope, this episode is for you. Take heart—our God has no limitations, and His love is better than life itself.

Episode 15 - God Will Give You Rest

In this episode of Cancer, I'm Still Grateful, the host reflects on the profound rest that God provides for those walking through the valley of cancer—not only for patients but for the family members walking alongside them. Drawing deeply from Psalm 23, the episode explores how the Good Shepherd tends to His sheep in the midst of suffering. While the psalm acknowledges dark realities—the shadow of death, evil, and enemies—it also promises green pastures, still waters, soul restoration, and a table prepared in the very presence of those enemies.

Episode 14 - There is Healing in the Word of God

Episode 14: There is Healing in the Word of God From the very first episode, the goal of this podcast has been simple: to leave you a little more encouraged, a little stronger, and a tad more hopeful. Today's message may be the most important one yet. No matter how you're feeling—down, afraid, anxious, joyful, or grateful—the Word of God has an antidote for your exact need. In this episode, we open the Psalms and discover that Scripture is not just information; it is healing. It is sweeter than honey when life turns bitter. It is a lamp when the path is dark. It is flawless treasure when we feel spiritually poor. It is joy when our hearts are heavy. It is peace when everything around us is chaos. Through verses like Psalm 19, Psalm 34, Psalm 119, and many others, we explore how the Bible addresses every human condition and offers the very presence of God to those who seek Him there. This episode is a loving challenge: we plead with God for answers, but do we open the book where He has already spoken? If you need healing for your soul, this message invites you to reach for the Word and find Him waiting. Have a question or feedback? Email us at cancerwithgratitude@outlook.com

Episode 13 - Encourage Yourself

In moments of deep distress, anxiety, and feeling isolated in our struggles, where do we turn? This episode offers a powerful anchor from the story of David in 1 Samuel 30:6. When his own life was threatened and all seemed lost, the Scripture tells us "David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." We explore a vital and personal truth: while God is the ultimate source of all comfort and strength, the choice to actively take hold of that hope is ours. Like David, we have a responsibility in our darkest hours—not to rely on our own strength or wait passively, but to deliberately encourage ourselves by clinging to God's promises, His character, and His faithful Word. Through reflection on Scripture, including Isaiah 49 and Hebrews 11, we are reminded that our mighty God never forgets us, and faith has always been the vehicle for victory. This is a call to action: to open the Bible, to meditate on God's promises, and to make the conscious decision to dress ourselves in faith. You have one crucial task today: to encourage yourself in the Lord, for He never fails, and our hope in Him is never in vain. Tune in for a heartfelt reminder that even in the valley, you can choose to find your strength and courage in the One who is your ever-present fortress. Listen now and be encouraged.

Episode 12 - God Defines You, Not Your Mirror

In Episode 12 of Cancer, I'm Still Grateful, we confront one of the most intimate battles of illness: the fight for your identity when your own reflection seems unfamiliar. We start with the anchor of 2 Corinthians 4:16—"outwardly wasting away, inwardly renewed day by day"—and build from there. We’ll share why the scars you carry can be seen as banners of God’s victory, not marks of defeat. We’ll hear the profound wisdom of Joni Eareckson Tada and sit with the raw, beautiful prayer of the blind hymnwriter George Matheson as he learned to thank God for his "thorn." This episode is a compassionate guide for renewing your mind (Romans 12:2) so you can exchange the world's narrative about your body for God's eternal truth about your soul. It ends with a simple, powerful truth to declare over your own reflection. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt a disconnect between what you see and who you know you are in Christ, this conversation is for you. Have a question or feedback?
