In this powerful episode, host Janine Igliane and co-host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Sam Openshaw, a husband, father, and entrepreneur whose life took an unexpected turn when doctors discovered a mass on his brain and the possibility of cancer.

Sam shares the raw and vulnerable journey from what was supposed to be a routine summer in Minnesota remodeling a new resort, to suddenly facing health scares, uncertainty, and fear of the unknown. He opens up about the moments of worry, the prayers that sustained him, and how God’s timing completely shifted his perspective on life, family, and faith.

From the emotional roller coaster of waiting for answers to the lessons learned in surrendering control, Sam’s story is both deeply personal and universally relatable. He talks about the strength it took to lead his family through uncertainty, the support that carried him through, and the unshakable faith that reminded him he wasn’t walking alone.

Whether you are walking through a health battle, navigating fear, or seeking encouragement in your own journey, this episode is filled with hope, perspective, and a reminder that God’s faithfulness never fails.
