Summary

“Cancer.” It’s the word none of us wants to hear on the other end of a phone call or a conversation. It’s the ultimate boogeyman of all disease, containing a thousand worst-case scenarios and unimaginable trials in just one word. When Joanna Dennstaedt was diagnosed with skin cancer, it sent her into an incredibly low place. But in the midst of her valley, Joanna found purpose in her pain. The valley that Joanna found herself in is all too common, and God was going to use her to minister to the people that she found herself walking alongside in this difficult season.

Yeah, I agree, I agree. I don't think that it's something I would have thought of but I'm sure that walking through cancer like she has she's probably seen a major need for this ministry and she filled the need.

1:16.0

Yep, and she talks about that in this story and how she came about, you know,

1:20.9

recognizing that this was a major need. you're right I think one of the things

1:25.0
