In this powerful follow up episode of Go Getters & Go Givers, Thomas Lee and John Hixon return one year after sharing their incredible testimony. Now seniors at Auburn University, they reflect on the journey that began in 2023 when Thomas was diagnosed with a rapidly spreading cancerous tumor and immediately began surgery and treatment.

They revisit the moment that changed everything when Thomas was prayed over at church and his very next scan showed the cancer was completely gone. One year later, Thomas and John share how life has unfolded since that miracle and how their faith has continued to grow.

Together, they talk about how this experience has drawn them closer to Christ, reshaped their priorities, and inspired them to start a small accountability group that meets every Tuesday with close friends to encourage one another in their walk with Christ. This episode is a moving update on healing, friendship, and what it looks like to live out faith after a life changing miracle.
