Encouraging weary women to hope in Christ alone
Have you ever wondered what not to say to a friend with cancer? Maybe you know what NOT to say, but you aren’t sure what to say instead. I tackle this challenge head-on in a recent article I wrote for my publisher’s blog. Check it out here! Also, P&R is running a sale on Loving Your Friend through Cancer through October 31 in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You’ll find the coupon code and a link to the book at the end of the article.
ShareLast week I had the privilege of doing a Facebook live interview with Patricia Durgin from Marketers on a Mission. Patricia helps Christian writers and speakers succeed online with a daily Facebook live show, and last week she hosted a special breast cancer awareness week. I was thrilled to be able to share God’s story of faithfulness to me during my battle with angiosarcoma and discuss how we can support our friends with cancer. You can check out the replay from YouTube here!

I’ve done two interviews recently and would love for you to check them out for behind-the-scenes info about Loving Your Friend through Cancer!
First, I answered questions from Lynne Hartke. She’s a writer, speaker, cancer survivor, and author of Under a Desert Sky: Redefining Hope, Beauty, and Faith in Hardest Places. You can find the interview here on her blog.
I also did an interview with my publisher, P&R Publishing. If you’re curious about my favorite food or my advice for aspiring writers, you can find that interview here on their blog.

On October 25, 2010, Trinity Grace Church was diagnosed with cancer.
Of course, I was the one who received the phone call from the doctor and scoured the internet for information about the rare cancer. But as the news rippled through our small church family, my brothers and sisters in Christ linked arms with my husband, young children, and me. They carried our burdens and wept with us.
Cancer wasn’t just an assignment the Lord gave me to glorify him in suffering. He gave this difficult assignment to my community, too.
