September 1st was National Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. As such, we dedicate the episode to the thousands of children around the world who have suffered and died of childhood cancer.

Grief has a way of reshaping our lives in ways we never imagined. For Keri Rodriguez, the unthinkable happened when her granddaughter Everly was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer at just 16 months old. What followed was a harrowing journey through hospital stays, treatments, moments of hope, and ultimately heartbreak when Everly passed away before her third birthday.
This raw conversation explores the intersection of profound loss and spiritual faith. Keri candidly shares how she proclaimed to everyone – even skeptical medical staff – that God would heal her granddaughter. When healing didn't come in the expected form, she faced the question that haunts many believers: Why didn't God heal Everly when we know He could have?

Listen to hear the entire conversation.
