Description:

Welcome back to the Lighthouse Podcast! In this episode, Chris and & Christy had the honor of speaking with Christy Owens. She is married to her husband, Ira, and they have three children, Grace, Noah & Jonas. 

Christy's son Jonas was diagnosed with Pre-B-Cell Leukemia at 16 months old. She opens up about the initial struggles of his diagnosis, treatment, and the uncertainties that plagued her family throughout their three-year journey. Christy shares a pivotal moment when she learned to focus on the present rather than fearfully anticipating the future. She found strength and trust in God's goodness, learning to focus on the present rather than anxiously worrying about the future.

As Christy immersed herself in a supportive Facebook group titled Christian Parents of Kids with Cancer, she found solace, encouragement, and a platform to express her emotions through writing and sharing bible verses. Eventually, the Facebook page was given to Christy and this space has become a sacred place for mothers to find strength, support, and spiritual nourishment. Discover the power of coming together and serving one another through the love of Christ amidst life's most difficult trials.
