87: From Chicken Soup to Kingdom Purpose: Healing, Humor & God’s Goodness with Barry Spilchuk

What if your deepest pain became the very thing God used to save a life?

In this soul-stirring episode of God’s Goodness Podcast, hosts Josh and Shelly Hankins welcome author, speaker, and Kingdom encourager Barry Spilchuk, co-author of A Cup of Chicken Soup for the Soul. But Barry’s testimony is far more than bestsellers and stages—it’s a journey through suffering, surrender, and supernatural redemption.

With raw honesty and Holy Spirit-led storytelling, Barry opens up about surviving Stage 4 cancer, wrestling with the silence of an earthly father, and learning to embrace the heavenly Father’s approval instead. You’ll hear how Barry’s words—delivered in obedience—literally saved a man from suicide, and how one unexpected act of kindness from a stranger gave him the courage to keep going when he was ready to quit.

From laughter to tears, this episode is a masterclass in faith and purpose, filled with unforgettable Christian testimonies, modern-day miracles, and the power of listening to God’s whispers.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters, let this be your reminder: God still works through ordinary people in extraordinary ways.
