The Story of Cancer Healing and Rubber Chicken Socks

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2209237/fan_mail/new] Today we're stepping inside the Montgomery Cancer Center in Prattville, Alabama, a place where courage meets compassion, where healing begins, and where hope is offered every single day. At the heart of so much of that hope is one unforgettable man: Dr. Robert Avery. Dr. Avery is known for his remarkable skill and compassionate care. But he also understands something powerful, healing often comes through laughter too. Because sometimes hope arrives through wise words. Sometimes through excellent care. And sometimes… through sky blue socks covered in bright yellow rubber chickens. Today, I want to share the story of a doctor who understood that medicine treats the body, while humor and hope help strengthen the heart. For me, this story is personal. Dr. Avery stood beside me in my own battle with leukemia, offering truth, courage, and hope when I needed it most. So today, we celebrate a man who brings healing, humor, and hope to countless lives. This is the story of Dr. Robert Avery, a man of humor and hope.

When the Headlines Trouble the Heart

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2209237/fan_mail/new] Have you ever looked around and been troubled by what you see going on in the world.  It seems like we're surrounded with trouble and dispair. The bad rules and goood seems to be in retreat or defeated. Well, this has happened for years.  Imagine Noah looking around at his world where everything is evil.  Or, as the subject of this episode, Habakkuk looks around and only sees violence and injustice.  So he turns to God with questions. In today's episode we look at that and God's response and how that affect us and, what we can do about it.
