I Don't Know How to Tell You This, But You Have a Brain Tumor: Faith, Surgery, and the Angels in the Room (Part 4 of 7)

Episode notes

The doctor walked in and said: I don't know how to tell you this, but you have a brain tumor. You probably have a week to live. In Part 4 of 7 of the Leadership Sovereignty Podcast's Speaking Truth to Power series, Phillip McKibbins shares the most personal episode of the series. While on a family vacation in Hawaii - the one they had planned for years - Phillip lost sensation in his legs while driving a van. What followed was a 12-hour surgery at Cedars-Sinai, a room full of medical students, a surgeon who asked to pray over him before they began - and at hour eight on the operating table, what Phillip can only describe as angels surrounding the room, singing. This episode is not about technology. It is not about career strategy. It is about what happens when a man who has spent 30 years speaking truth to power finds himself face to face with something no credential or skill can fix - and discovers that faith was always the foundation.
