Megan Basham - In the Valley of Cancer

Jon Harris sits down with journalist and author Megan Basham to discuss her journey of faith amid cancer. While her book Shepherds for Sale climbed the New York Times bestseller list, Megan was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for stage 3 colon cancer (later upgraded to stage 4).

She opens up about the fear, the fight, the deep spiritual lessons learned in the valley, and how God has drawn her closer to Him through suffering. Megan shares candidly about family, motherhood, processing mortality, the difference in how men and women face terminal illness, rejecting fear through providence, and the surprising peace God has given her.

This episode is a moving testimony of leaning on Christ when everything is uncertain. If you're walking through illness, loss, or uncertainty, Megan’s story will encourage you to trust that no molecule — including every cancer cell — is outside of God’s sovereign control.
