For some, October means pumpkin spice, well, everything, vibrant leaves and a chill in the air.
For others, October means trick-or-treating, costumes and scary (or silly) decorations.
For still others, October means Breast Cancer Awareness. And that’s one of our emphases here at SpiritLed Woman. Every week this month, we’ve featured a new “Hope Through Cancer” article and podcast with a special breast cancer emphasis. Here are the four stories:
—“Anne Graham Lotz: Why Breast Cancer Isn’t a Punishment From God.”
—“How This Woman Grabbed Hold of God’s Promise and Found Victory Over Breast Cancer.”
—“How One Man’s Cancer Miracle May Be the Answer for Breast Cancer.”
—“How God Used Back-to-Back Blizzards to Prepare This Woman for Her Breast Cancer Journey.”
This year, Charisma has also produced several other stories and podcasts in our “Hope Through Cancer” series. And some of these also rate directly to breast cancer.
“Why Joanna Gaines Decorated a Stranger’s Home for Christmas,” with movie producers Jay and Sofia Lyons, shares the story of Kara Tippets and how even metastatic breast cancer didn’t keep her from sharing her lessons of love and life, even with popular Fixer Upper star Gaines.
“Why This Nurse Says We Can Defeat Cancer Now” with Jenny Hrbacek, RN, explains that 90% of cancers are preventable and lays out some helpful tips for curing and preventing breast cancer, which Hrbacek herself had, as well as other types.
“Former SNL Star Victoria Jackson Receives Prophetic Prayer in Drive-Thru” tells the inspiring story of the God-focused comedian who sees humor even in breast cancer and offers hope to others as well.
We encourage you to read these stories and listen to their companion podcasts. In one way or another, breast cancer touches almost all of our lives. Every two minutes in the U.S., another woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, and men are not immune from the disease, either. Charisma trusts these stories will bring information, healing and especially hope to many. As we say goodbye to October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please keep those whose lives have been or are being touched by breast cancer in your prayers. {eoa}
