At just 38 years old, husband and father of two Beau Barron was diagnosed with an aggressive and extremely rare osteosarcoma of the jaw. The only chance of survival was a life-altering surgery: doctors would remove the entire lower right portion of his jaw and rebuild it using bone from his tibia.

What followed was a journey through physical pain, divine provision, decisive action, emotional collapse, PTSD, and a deep internal battle that few ever see.

In this episode of Reborn, Beau shares:

• The moment he received the diagnosis

• The long road of reconstruction and recovery

• How PTSD and panic shaped his mental world after cancer

• The unexpected role of ayahuasca in his healing journey

• What this fight taught him about marriage, fatherhood, faith, and the value of every moment

This is a raw, honest, hope-filled conversation about suffering, resilience, and choosing life in the face of overwhelming odds. Beau’s story is a reminder that even when something is taken from you… it doesn’t have to take you.

If you or someone you love has faced cancer, trauma, or a season of darkness, this episode will meet you right where you are.

What happens when love turns into control — and faith is the only thing left to stand on? This is Part 1 of Lacey’s story, a powerful journey through heartbreak, healing, and the fire that refines us.

Lacey grew up in a close-knit Southern community, surrounded by love, faith, and possibility. Creative, beautiful, and spiritually-minded, she carried a heart that saw the good in everyone—sometimes to a fault. After graduating from Auburn, she was quickly swept off her feet by an older, charming, and persistent man. It all happened so fast, there was barely time to say “no.”

What began as a fairytale soon turned into a storm of secrecy, control, and quiet suffering. After 10 years —with two young boys depending on her and a third on the way—she made the impossible decision to walk away. This is Part 1 of Lacey’s story—a story of faith, resilience, and of a woman who found supernatural rest in the midst of rebuilding her life.
