Episode 105: Facing Terminal Cancer with Jesus - Amelia Fowler


Listen Later

Amelia is back! Over one year after she was first given her stage 4 cancer diagnosis, we catch up on how she’s doing, what God has been speaking to her heart, and the moments that have shaped her in the valley.

From yelling at God to encountering an angel, from wrestling with life and death to navigating the tension between faith and surrender - we talk visions, promises, and the deep work of the Holy Spirit in suffering.
