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. 0:00 - Introduction & Welcoming Megan Basham 2:10 - Megan's Impact, Shepherds for Sale & Sounding the Alarm 5:30 - The Surreal Year: NYT Bestseller While Fighting Cancer 8:45 - Stage 3 Colon Cancer Diagnosis & Attacks During Treatment 11:40 - Learning Dependence on God & Hidden Blessings 15:20 - Comparing Journeys with Ben Sasse 19:10 - One-on-One Trips with Daughters & Facing Mortality 23:50 - Deepened Prayer Life & John MacArthur's Encouragement 27:40 - Obsession with Statistics & Releasing Control 29:50 - God's Peace, Providence & Gospel Invitation #MeganBasham #Cancer #Faith #ChristianPodcast #ShepherdsForSale Our Sponsors: * Check out Mars Men and use my code Mengotomars.com for a great deal: https://mengotomars.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
