In this unbelievable and deeply inspiring episode of The Seeking Wisdom Podcast, Joni sits down with her younger brother, JC Fernandez, to revisit his miraculous story of survival after being diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 30.

The journey began in 2001, and after 24 years, JC has decided to open his heart and offer his unique perspective on facing mortality at such a young age. He recalls the importance of having a supportive community, an innovative medical team, and a positive mindset to get through the darkest moments.
