E128: How Cancer Became Her Blessing w/ Lamar Hanna

Episode Summary

Many would question the idea that a mother who passed away and left behind a husband and 4 children could be described “blessed.” Yet Jessica believed that she was “Blessed By Cancer” and has left a legacy as she chronicled her battle with cancer through her Instagram page, amassing tens of thousands of followers as she shared inspiring insights of faith throughout the last years of her life. Today I sit down with Jessica’s husband, Lamar Hanna, to discuss what compelled Jessica to publicly document her journey, how two successful business owners had faith conversions that prepared them to face cancer with God on their side, how Jessica chose between cancer treatments and protecting her baby in the womb, how her family is faring since her passing, how Lamar is carrying on her legacy, and much more.
