About this episode
"There’s not a moment I’m not aware I have Pompe." Kelly Canfield joins Austin Gardner one last time to share the raw reality of living with a terminal, progressive disease. From the "stack of books" feeling on her chest to the mental weight Robert carries as a husband and father, this episode is a masterclass in finding purpose when life doesn't look like you planned.
If you are a patient dealing with cancer, a rare disease, or chronic pain—or if you are the one holding the hand of someone who is—this episode was recorded specifically for you.
Key Takeaways:
- How to not let a diagnosis define your entire identity.
- The beauty of "un-transactional" love in marriage.
- Why Robert says "God turns horrific into glorious."
- How the Canfields are reaching the world through Taking the Light Ministries.
