Listen Later

In this powerful comeback episode, Rev. Pat Flowers sits down with breast cancer survivor Ms. Sherold Haynes for an honest, Spirit-led conversation about faith, resilience, and the realities of Black women’s health. Together, they shine light on self-advocacy, early detection, and the miraculous healing power of God.


After a season of rest and renewal, Life Beyond the Bible returns with a message of hope, healing, and victory. This episode marks the first in a two-part series on Black women’s cancer stories, opening up conversations we don’t have enough about health, trauma, and faith within our community.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

Early Detection & Advocacy: Sherold shares how her diagnosis at 42 came after decades of being dismissed by doctors and highlights the importance of self-exams, genetic testing, and knowing your body.

Breaking the Silence: Rev. Pat opens up about her own struggles with medical trauma and how faith helped her reclaim peace and courage in self-care.

Mothers, Daughters & Health Conversations: Both women emphasize the importance of open, judgment-free dialogue between mothers and daughters about health, puberty, and awareness.

Cultural & Medical Bias: Sherold reveals shocking challenges with reconstructive surgery and sheds light on the lack of awareness surrounding African American skin and care.

Faith & Resilience: Through every setback, Sherold’s story reminds us that God’s healing power is real, and every scar can testify to His grace.

This isn’t just an episode about illness; it’s about faith, courage, advocacy, and sisterhood. It’s a call to listen, learn, and love more deeply.

Key Scripture:

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV)

Episode Highlights:

“Victory doesn’t always look like what we expected—it looks like peace.”

“Faith doesn’t make the journey easy, but it makes it possible.”

“Every scar tells a story of God’s grace.”
