What happens when you survive one miracle, only to be hit by a second disaster?

W. Austin Gardner shares the second chapter of his survival story. After the "rough" process of learning to stand and walk again following COVID-19, he was hit with a diagnosis of five tumors in his abdomen.

Austin doesn't hold back on the "TMI" details—the physical exhaustion, the side effects of immunotherapy, and the struggle to not "play the victim." If you’ve ever griped against God or felt like you were at the end of your rope, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The physical humiliations of recovery at 65 years old.
  • Why Christian fellowship is the "sweetest thing" during a crisis.
  • The emotional toll of being put on "palliative care."
  • How being alone leads to finding that God is all you need.
