I want to introduce you to my wife, Shelley — and ask you to do something for her.
For years, Shelley has been my teacher. If you've ever heard me talk about supplements, clean nutrition, getting real exercise, protecting your sleep and circadian rhythm, getting morning sunlight — almost everything I know, I learned from her. She's a health coach, and more than that, she's the person who actually lives it every single day. She raised six children (yes, six — all by C-section), rebuilt her own health after a thyroid battle following her last pregnancy, and turned everything she learned into a calling: helping other people feel their best. If you met Shelley a month ago, you'd have walked away thinking, "Now THAT is what healthy looks like." By every outward measure, she was the picture of health.
And then, two weeks ago, everything changed.
What started as something small and easy to brush off led to a test, and that test led to a scan, and that scan led to four words no one is ever ready to hear: stage 4 cancer. From feeling fine to a serious diagnosis in a matter of days. The whiplash of it is hard to put into words.
But here's what you need to know about Shelley: she is not facing this with fear. She is facing it with a fight — and with her faith.
That faith is the ground she's standing on right now. This morning she had her port placed, and tomorrow she begins her very first treatment. And honestly? She is ready. Ready to stop waiting and start fighting. Through all of it, Shelley keeps coming back to the same truth — that God is with her, that she is not walking this road alone, and that she is overwhelmed, in the best way, by the love and prayers being lifted on her behalf.
That's where you come in.
Shelley believes deeply in the power of prayer, and so do I. Would you take a moment today to lift her up? Pray for her treatment to work, for her body to stay strong, for peace and faith over our family, and for nothing short of a full and complete healing. Every single prayer matters, and she feels them.
You can follow Shelley's journey — and leave her a word of encouragement — on her CaringBridge page: 👉 https://www.caringbridge.org/site/4b5fb66f-5496-11f1-9d1b-fd0442674ac9
All the ways to support Shelley are on her CaringBridge page as well. But more than anything, the ask today is simple: pray. Let's surround Shelley with so much faith and so many prayers that she can feel them with every step of this journey. 💛

Thank You!
