Imagine planting a new church in a new area, getting your young family settled into a new town and new rhythms and then finding out that you have cancer, and it is terminal.  All of us go through difficult seasons in life, but what does it look like to see these hardships as opportunities for transformation? This week Doug and J.R. talk with Patrick Schwenk about his experience going through cancer as a person, pastor, husband and father. This is a raw conversation about limitations, transformation, community, and grace.  We know that this will hit close to home for many and we believe it will be a deeply marking conversation for many of us.
