However, when Russ was diagnosed with a deadly, bladder cancer back in 2012, they entered into foreign territory. A Holy Spirit -led strategy emerged for battling the cancer and amazingly, 10 months later, Russell was completely healed! This podcast is about their incredible story of overcoming cancer that resulted in Marion’s book, Healed, Healthy and Whole, How We Beat Cancer with Integrated Therapies and Healing Strategies.
