What happens when you survive cancer… but still feel like giving up?

In this powerful episode of Truth Behind the Mike, I sit down with Glen Kirkpatrick—a 2x cancer survivor who faced something even more terrifying than disease: deep depression and suicidal thoughts.

Glen shares his raw, unfiltered journey:

Being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at 30
Beating cancer… then watching it come back
Falling into severe depression and suicidal ideation
The moment everything nearly ended
And how God met him in the darkest place imaginable

This is more than a survival story—it’s a story of intervention, rescue, and redemption.

If you’re struggling with:
- Depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Cancer or chronic illness
- Loss of purpose
- Or questioning your faith

This conversation is for you.

👉 You are not alone. And your story is not over.

What do you do when God doesn’t make sense?

In this powerful and emotional episode of Truth Behind the Mike, Mike sits down with Worship Pastor Jakobee Cotton from Living Hope Church in Findlay, Ohio to share a story that will deeply move you.

After walking through a season of faith, calling, and surrender… Jakobee and his wife were faced with the unimaginable:

💔 Losing their son at 17 weeks.

In this conversation, Jakobee opens up about:

• The pain of losing a child before birth
• Wrestling honestly with God in grief
• What real faith looks like in suffering
• The moment that changed everything in the hospital room
• Why he chose to trust God… even when it didn’t make sense

This is not a polished “church answer.”

This is real.
This is raw.
This is faith in the fire.

If you’ve ever asked:
👉 “God, where are you?”
👉 “Why would this happen?”
👉 “Can I still trust Him?”

This episode is for you.
