There are moments in life when everything changes with a single diagnosis, an unexpected phone call, or a medical emergency. In those moments, we're faced with a choice: Will we trust what we see, or will we trust the God who sees the whole picture?
This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I'm joined by Stephanie Franklin-Suber, whose incredible testimony is a powerful reminder that God never wastes our pain.
Stephanie openly shares her journey through a cancer diagnosis at just 48 years old, the emotional aftermath of surviving cancer, the heartbreak of grief, and the miracle of surviving cardiac arrest. Through every setback, God continued to write a story of hope, healing, and renewed purpose.
Together, we discuss what it means to care for the body, soul, and spirit as God's temple, why listening to both the Holy Spirit and your body matters, and how God often uses our greatest trials to redirect us into the calling He has prepared all along.
If you've ever wrestled with fear, chronic illness, grief, unanswered questions, or simply wondered where God is in the middle of your pain, this conversation will encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Him. His character never changes, even when our circumstances do.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Stephanie's journey through cancer, cardiac arrest, grief, and miraculous recovery.
• What it means to live the "Triune Temple Journey" by caring for your body, soul, and spirit.
• Why God's redirection is often His greatest protection.
• Practical ways to build your faith through prayer, Scripture, and intimacy with Christ.
• How to recognize shifting seasons while remaining anchored in God's promises.
• Encouragement for anyone walking through illness, emotional trauma, or recovery.
• The resources behind Stephanie's Rebuild Your Temple message and her Signature Faith and Health Collection.
No matter what season you're walking through today, remember this: your hope is anchored in God's unchanging character. He is still faithful, still working, and still writing a beautiful story of redemption.
