In this episode of the Words of This Life Show, hosts Ayo Odole and Pablo Valenzuela sit down with Carson, a believer whose life was suddenly disrupted by a devastating diagnosis: brain cancer.

Carson shares the moment he learned he had a brain tumor, the difficult road of surgery, and the crushing reality of hearing that the tumor had returned—bringing him face-to-face with the possibility of a terminal illness. In the midst of uncertainty, pain, and fear, Carson began asking deeper questions about life, meaning, and faith.

Rather than collapsing inward, Carson discovered a renewed sense of purpose—not rooted in circumstances or outcomes, but in Christ Himself. He speaks candidly about learning to trust God when healing is not guaranteed, how faith becomes real in suffering, and what it means to truly lean on the Body of Christ during trying times.

This episode is for anyone walking through illness, loss, or unanswered prayers—and for those wondering whether faith and community can truly sustain us when life feels impossible.

Inspired by Acts 5:20, Words of This Life shares real testimonies from believers whose lives show that Christ is alive and active today.
