Episode notes

She lost her husband of 28 years to leukemia. The family decided they would not get angry at God.

Joy Lewis on grief, faith, and choosing trust in the valley.

Pastor Shane Lewis was a beloved pastor and powerful preacher whose ministry was tremendously blessed by God. He had a special gift with people and was known for his deep integrity and genuine love for others. On Father’s Day morning in 2020, he went home to be with the Lord.

Joy also shares about her own battle with breast cancer just five months after losing Shane, raising five children through tragedy, and how her personal walk with the Lord became her greatest source of strength.

We also include a powerful 5-minute excerpt from **Dr. Shane Lewis** on the grace of God.

Whether you're walking through grief yourself or want to better support someone who is, this conversation is filled with wisdom, honesty, and real hope.
