Through every painful season, she has held tightly to the truth that God knows, God cares, and He remains with us in the fire.\nRachel and Anne also discuss the healing power of serving others, the importance of Christian community, and how churches can support individuals and families facing cancer, caregiving, and grief. Ane’s story reminds us that suffering does not have to leave us isolated or bitter—it can become an opportunity to encourage others and shine the light of Christ."}
