It's an honor to host Michael Lage on the Lighthouse Podcast today for our first Childhood Cancer Awareness Month podcast as he shares about his experience losing his brother to cancer. A little bit about Michael - he has been married to Monica for 10 years and lives in Atlanta. Together, they have 3 kids with another one on the way soon. Michael shares how he was impacted by childhood cancer when his youngest brother, Tim, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. He walked with Tim through many challenges - chemo, amputations, physical therapy, learning to use a wheelchair and more. Yet In the midst of those challenges, Michael and his family leaned on God and prayed consistently. His parents created a safe space to land, they engaged him and his siblings in the hard conversations, and invited them into the process of Tim's cancer journey. Now that Tim is gone, Michael reflects on those times and is grateful for how the journey impacted him in infinite ways as a man, father and husband.
