Why I’m not worried about my brain cancer: The Diagnosis Defines the Battle—Not Who Is Over It This isn’t theoretical for me. This is a resected high-grade brain tumor. I’m in recovery. Chemo and radiation are ahead. So I’m not dealing in abstractions. This has to hold up in real life. These are some of the names of God: Elohim — Creator My brain is not a mystery to Him. The One who designed neural pathways understands every signal, every disruption, every attempt to heal. What feels uncertain to me is fully known to Him. I’m not navigating a broken system. I’m living in one He built. Yahweh — I AM My condition changed. He didn’t. Before the MRI. After the pathology report. As I walk into treatment. Same God. My anchor is not my prognosis. It’s His constancy. El Shaddai — Sufficient What’s coming will take a toll. Fatigue. Cognitive strain. Emotional weight. “Enough” isn’t going to come from me. It will come from Him sustaining me—one day at a time. Adonai — Lord I don’t control outcomes. I control obedience. Show up to treatment. Take care of my body. Lead my family well. Control isn’t my role. Faithful execution is. Yahweh Jireh — Provider I can already see provision. A skilled surgeon. Treatment options. Support around me. Strength for today. Provision isn’t just something I’m waiting on. It’s already happening. Yahweh Rapha — Healer Healing is still His domain. It may look like surgical success. Tumor control. Response to treatment. Or something beyond what medicine expects. But the source doesn’t change. Yahweh Shalom — Peace This isn’t about “feeling calm.” It’s stability while everything else isn’t. A serious diagnosis with a clear mind. A real fight with a steady heart. This is not denial. This is peace that holds. Yahweh Rohi — Shepherd I’m not figuring this out alone. Guidance shows up in: Doctors. Timing. Decisions. When to push and when to rest. I’m being led. Yahweh Tsidkenu — Righteousness This is not punishment. My standing with God hasn’t changed. This diagnosis is not a statement about my worth. Yahweh Shammah — The LORD Is There Every step. Pre-op. Recovery. Radiation. Chemo. There is no part of this where He isn’t present. Yahweh Nissi — Banner I had to redefine victory. It’s not just “no cancer.” It’s endurance. Faithfulness. Refusing to be owned by fear. I fight under His name—not my own strength. Yahweh Sabaoth — Lord of Hosts I’m not alone in ways I can’t see. Authority over life and death isn’t human. My situation is not outside His command. Yahweh Mekoddishkem — Sanctifier This process is changing me. Sharpening me. Stripping things away. Refining what matters. Not all of this is destruction. Some of it is transformation. Bottom Line My diagnosis is real. But it doesn’t override any of these names of God. The diagnosis defines the battle. These names define who is over it.

Dad doing his last dialysis treatment before triple bypass surgery tomorrow. Need all the prayers for him. 🥰

@SpencerKlavan Ironically, I once went through TSA with one of those “credit card” multi tools. He found it in my wallet and let me keep it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Say this for TSA, if you have so much as half an ounce too much mouthwash, they will not rest until they have rummaged to the bottom of your bag and thrown it out. The mind reels to think of the time, energy, and capital that have been dumped into this pointless ritual sinkhole.

I just finished day 15 of the @YouVersion plan 'Psalms II'. Check it out here: bible.com/en/reading-pla…

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV bible.com/bible/111/jhn.…

@army1325air @Erellsro Amen!! 🙌

I don’t always have the right words… I don’t always have the perfect path… But I have Him. And that’s enough. Jesus didn’t promise an easy life… He promised a meaningful one. A life where even your pain has purpose. Where your lowest moments aren’t the end… they’re the setup for something greater. I’ve been knocked down. I’ve questioned things. I’ve felt alone in rooms full of people… But every single time—He was there. Not loud. Not forcing anything. Just steady… waiting… guiding. You don’t need to be perfect to come to Him. You just need to be real. Tonight, I choose faith over fear. Strength over doubt. Light over darkness. Because Jesus Christ is King—yesterday, today, and forever. And no matter what this world throws at me… I’m not walking through it alone. God bless 🫵❤️

@candace_lo70387 From my immediate experience: Keep praying for your breakthrough; God is listening. He answered mine. EVERYTHING is new. 🙏✝️🙌

🕊️ What if your breakthrough is waiting on your faith? Dear Heavenly Father, In this world full of uncertainty, help me to stand firm in my faith. When I cannot see the path ahead, remind me me that You already know the way. Strengthen my heart when doubt creeps in. Teach me to trust You not only in the light, but also in the shadows. Let my faith be deeper than my fears and stronger than my circumstances. Lord increase my belief in Your promises. Help me to walk by faith and not by sight, knowing that You are always working for my good. Even in waiting help me trust. Even in silence, help me believe. Even in trials, help me hold onto You. I place my life in Your hands today- fully, confidently, and faithfully. In Jesus Name, Amen🙏🏻 If you're choosing faith over fear today, comment "I trust in You God."

I spent most of the day gathering all of my X posts since Thanksgiving that are applicable to my upcoming book, “The GIFT of Brain Cancer”. It’s still a very loose collection of thoughts, but I think I have the timeline outlined: * Descent into Darkness * Marriage Tension in the Valley * The Valley of Death * Rebirth (First Mountaintop) * Second Mountaintop:(Diagnosis, Surgery, and Post-Op) * Processing the World with New Eyes.

Prayers for you and your children. I've recently been diagnosed with a glioblastoma (high grade, aggressive, malignant brain cancer). We don't know prognosis yet, but someday my Mrs will have to make this same post. We have been very well covered with prayers from family, friends, and no less than three church congregations. All prayers are welcome, appreciated, and none go to waste. I will not hoard. Like God's grace, there's plenty to share. ✝️🙏

For those that follow Forgiven Messenger, He has gone to be with the Lord. This is his Mrs’s. The kids and I wanted his online friends to know. My Love will forever be missed 🙏🏻💔

@SSB_Rick Praying for you, brother. He didn't promise to take away all our struggles; He promised to be with us through them. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

I’m still alive. I’m still sober. I need a therapist. I ended up in the hospital Friday night. Got the cops called on me again last night. I threatened to overdose. I’ll update later with a better post

@OGRocker1 @USA4ever65 @jake22_h Thank you, brother. We’ve been very well covered by friends, family, and no less than three church congregations, and now my extended Christian X family. ALL prayers are appreciated and none go to waste. Be blessed! ✝️🙌🙏

@Hyzakyt @USA4ever65 @jake22_h 🙏Stay strong our brother

Good morning, beloved friends and family! ☀️🙏🏻❤️ As the sun rises on this beautiful new day, painting the skies with hope and promise, let us pause and reflect on the profound call of our Savior. In the quiet moments before the world rushes in, may this Scripture stir our hearts: “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.’ Matthew 16:24” Oh Lord, as the first light kisses the mountains and these fragile white blossoms push through the rugged stones, remind us that true life is found not in clinging to our own ways, but in surrendering fully to Yours. Teach us, gentle Father, to deny the self that whispers comfort in complacency, to lift high the cross of obedience, sacrifice, and love—even when the path feels steep and the burdens heavy. In this dawning hour, we choose to follow You. Not with fleeting words, but with surrendered hearts that echo Your grace. May every step today reflect Your humility, every decision carry the weight of eternity, and every breath breathe out worship. Lord, strengthen us to walk in Your footsteps, to love as You loved, to serve as You served. Let Your light shine through our lives like this sunrise—warming the cold places, illuminating the shadows, and drawing others closer to Your heart. Good morning, world! May your day be anchored in His presence, fueled by His strength, and overflowing with the joy of following the One who gave everything for us. In Jesus' holy name, Amen. 🙏🏻 What cross are you taking up today? Share in the comments—let’s encourage one another on this journey. 🙏❤️

@KatharinaLeAnn I love that added nuance. It’s a real and critical application of the wider concept. “100% of our current capacity.” Beautiful! 🥰

I recently heard a couple share something that really stuck with me. Each day when they come home, they check in with each other using a simple number, like a percentage of capacity. That number reflects how much energy they have emotionally, mentally & physically to give to the home & to each other. So if one of them comes home & says, “I’m at 30%,” & the other says, “I’m at 70%,” it becomes a gentle, unspoken agreement. The one with more capacity naturally carries more of the load that day …whether that’s chores, emotional support, listening, or simply showing up with extra patience. & it isn’t fixed. It flows. Some days it’s one way, some days it’s the other. The beauty is that it removes scorekeeping & replaces it with awareness & care. It assumes both are still giving 100% of what they have, just not always 100% of the same capacity. It felt like a really healthy picture of partnership, one I’d want if I was married.

Thank you, Lisa. I’ve been on the mountaintop, and now I’ve come down, I’m still fully committed to living with both feet in the Kingdom of God, and now I’m allowing that I AM operating in the medical reality of my diagnosis. Both paths are still under God’s sovereignty, and I probably have more to learn. God is Good. 🙌✝️

@Hyzakyt @jake22_h Prayers for comfort and peace, Jason. 🙏✝️🕊️

@Riverskyegirl @GarySinise @agustins Thank you again! I’m fairly certain you’ve responded to another of my posts or replies. Or maybe it’s just this one; my memory is also a little ’holey’ these days. 🤣✝️🙏🙌

@Hyzakyt @GarySinise @agustins I will pray for you, Jason! Praising God in all things through His faithful Son Yeshua Jesus. I will pray for your family as well. I am so sorry! May He pour out His love, strength, and comfort to you all. 🙏❤️

Hey folks, today I’d like to take a moment to share something deeply personal with you. Over the past few years, my family has walked through a season of profound love and loss. My son Mac was a remarkable young man, full of talent, heart, and purpose. An incredible musician and composer, in 2018 Mac was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and our family entered a journey that none of us could have prepared for. A little over two years ago I went to work writing my second book, sharing his story, as well as challenges and blessings our family experienced along the way, the love that held us together, the faith that sustained us, the grief that changed us, and how we continue to move forward daily with a strength we didn’t know we had. And now Thomas Nelson and @People Magazine begin the next part of this journey. This book is for Mac. It’s also for anyone who has faced loss, uncertainty, or hardship, and is searching for a line of hope in the middle of it. Something I feel I needed to do to help with my own healing. I’m thankful to People for sharing the launch of our presale today. Graceful Warrior: The True Story of a Son, a Father, and a Family Who Carried Each Other Through is now available for preorder and will officially be released on Mac’s birthday, Nov 10th. Thank you for your consideration. Read the full People article: bit.ly/4ms63wi Preorder today: bit.ly/4ekoVLk

@PastorMikeJr FOMO! …as the kids say. 👍 A LOT of us still like what you’re doing; keep up the excellent work. Haters gonna hate, Preachers gonna preach!

They hate u but can’t unfriend u!They’re scared they’re going to miss something!

This account Echo Location seems to be a backup account created by the original offender. This defense is obviously ridiculous. Jesus never spoke even to His enemies the way that DJ speaks to everyone who dares to challenge him (ie. speak Truth). This is the world we live in. “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” Matthew 10:16 NIV bible.com/bible/111/mat.…

Right now, some accounts here on X are claiming to be the revelation of biblical figures like Joseph (or even the King of Kings themselves), reinterpreting modern events and cities as direct fulfillments of prophecy in highly personal ways. These claims often come with strong language and demands that others recognize them as the fulfillment. Jesus gave a clear warning in Matthew 24: “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” (v. 5) He also said: “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.” (v. 23) The real return of the King of Kings will be impossible to miss — visible to every eye, like lightning flashing from east to west, with cosmic signs and great glory (Matthew 24:27-30; Revelation 1:7). We’re called to test every spirit and every claim against Scripture (1 John 4:1), and to watch the fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). In times like these, it’s wise to hold fast to what the Bible clearly describes rather than following any individual who points to themselves with special revelation. Stay rooted in the Word.

@englishrose0512 I kinda also feel like this might be a Job situation, which leads to my next question: Did Job need to learn something? Certainly he was humbled in the ordeal, but God Himself called him righteous. DID Job learn something?

Truly. I’m still close enough to my Mountaintop Experience that I’m perfectly happy to walk through this valley because I feel like He’s teaching me what I need. I never want to go back, so I’m happy to stay here as long as it takes. I still want to live a good long while afterwards (please let me live long enough to live the new me!) 🙌✝️

This is so true, there are days when it can be a lot, but it is worth it.
