On today's show, I'm continuing my conversation with singer/songwriter Mandie Pinto about what it was like to discover that her daughter had brain cancer.

Before we begin though, I want to give you an opportunity to share with me your stories about when you experienced suffering in your family. You can tell me your frustrations as well as your feelings of success if that happened to you. I want to hear all perspectives.

Mandie Continues - On Cancer 

Now on today's episode, Mandie Pinto and I had a great conversation last week about her music, and we just started talking about her daughter and what it was like to learn that she had cancer, but because Mandie is so open and honest we continued talking and it became another episode. 

If you missed the first part of our conversation, you would want to go back and listen to Ep 9. Mandie is a prolific artist with 8 independent solo albums. She's performed and led worship across the U.S. everywhere from the Georgia dome to the small backcountry church. In our previous conversation, she shared that as she was creating her latest album Hold My Everything, she and her husband Jeremy learned that their oldest daughter Bridget had brain cancer.

As we continue talking, she shares what it was like for her to learn this news and help her daughter face it with confidence and a sense of peace. She shares how she keeps hopeful and how she helped her two girls to work through not even getting to see one another because of chemotherapy and safety concerns.

Mandie's favorite Bible verse right now is..

John 16:33 

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."
