What if the worst news of your life becomes the turning point for your greatest healing?

Diagnosed with cancer at just 27, Marianne had no family support, no insurance, and a past full of pain. But what followed was a flood of miracles—reconciliation, redemption, and a peace she never imagined.

In this raw and honest episode, Marianne opens up about growing up in dysfunction, her battle with cancer, how faith reframed her suffering, and the miraculous reunion with her estranged father—who, without her knowing, had just returned to Christ.

We talk about trauma, cancer, breaking up, healing, forgiveness, and what it really means to be seen and loved.

This episode is part of Treasures of Darkness—a season exploring how God meets us in our pain and reveals beauty in the broken places.
