From Brain Tumor to Bold Faith: Karen’s Journey Through Surgery, Glioblastoma & God’s Grace

In this moving episode of the Fast to Faith Podcast, Karen Bartram shares her unbelievable story—from a small limp and fine motor issues to a devastating diagnosis of a grade 4 glioblastoma. What began as a suspicion of a pinched nerve turned into an emergency room visit, brain surgery, and a life-changing faith journey.

Karen walks us through her awake craniotomy, the moments of fear and surrender, and how years of prioritizing her health and spiritual growth prepared her for this unexpected battle. She opens up about combining conventional treatment with holistic healing, and the role prayer, perseverance, and community have played in her resilience. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your pain, Karen’s story is proof He’s been preparing you all along.
