AJ, I so deeply resonate with this story— not only because I myself was diagnosed with cancer while my wife was six months pregnant with our first child, but also because as a pastor, I see remarkable people like this every day. I get a special window into the joy carried by people on the other side of prison sentences, divorce, and chronic illness. Thank you for putting this beautiful story to words, and for walking around with your eyes open for Jesus.

Kyle, thank you for sharing this. What a painful road to have personally walked while now also shepherding others through suffering.

There’s such a striking overlap in these stories. Spirit-led and deeply felt.

And this brings me so much joy hearing about the way you’re loving and serving people in the middle of their hardest moments. I once was imprisoned myself, and it was people like you who extended the goodness of Jesus to me. It completely changed my life.

Wow, I praise God for those folks, and it sounds like you’ve become someone like that for others. What a beautiful thing to witness. Thanks, AJ.
