• S2 E20 | How to Use Cancer As a Stepping Stone (instead of it being a stumbling block)
    Oct 21 2024

    Cancer feels like a huge stumbling block along our path in life. Yet what if we chose to look at it as a stepping stone instead? On today’s episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray.™, I will share a story that reminded me to chose to be a riser and not allow cancer to be a stumbling block on my path in life in hopes to encourage you to do the same.

    Summary - Reflection and Application

    1. Choose between stumbling block and stepping stone.
    2. Choose to rise up into the roles in life and live with greater purpose.
    3. Meditate on 1 Peter 1:6-7

    Scripture of the Week ⁠

    Though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. -1 Peter 1:6-7
