Description:

In this profoundly moving episode, we have the privilege of talking with Kelli Youngblood. Kelli and her husband Matt have two beautiful children, Emerie (10) and Lane (7).

Their story began with an unexpected twist when Lane was playing soccer with his dad and suddenly experienced excruciating stomach pains. A trip to the hospital and a shocking diagnosis from the oncology team changed their lives forever: Lane had cancer. After a nephrectomy to remove his kidney and 24 weeks of intensive treatment, Lane was declared cancer-free in October 2021. The relief was palpable, but their journey was far from over. In February 2022, routine scans brought devastating news—Lane's cancer had returned and had now spread to his lungs.

Kelli courageously shares her personal struggle with accepting help from others throughout their journey. She recounts two powerful conversations that shifted her perspective, allowing her to see the blessings God had bestowed upon her family when they needed them the most.

Faith is a central theme in Kelli's story. She opens up about her profound faith in the Lord, & entrusting everything to Him. Their son, Lane, displayed incredible faith at such a young age. With an unwavering spirit, he would begin every prayer, even in the hospital receiving treatment, with the heartfelt words, "Thank you, God, for giving us all of this JOY." This joy became a constant presence throughout their challenging journey.
