Summary

Former U.S. Senator and university president Ben Sasse faced a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis in late 2025—a stark "death sentence" that forced him to confront mortality head-on. Instead of despair, he embraced family, faith, and resurrection hope, transforming his final days into a powerful testimony of purposeful living. Mike Slater, host of Politics By Faith, draws inspiration from Sasse's journey to show how facing death reorients priorities away from fleeting pursuits toward what lasts forever. Blending this real-life story with timeless wisdom literature from Scripture, the special reveals how an eternal mindset brings deeper joy, love, and faithfulness in Christ. This is part two of two.
