Cancer Saved Her Life

Share your thoughts

What happens when everything you think defines you is suddenly stripped away? In this episode, Erika Allison Lambro shares her remarkable journey from rejecting her Christian upbringing to embracing an LGBTQ identity, Buddhist spirituality, and activism against the church—only to have it all crumble after a cancer diagnosis at age 40.

 For 25 years, she distanced herself from her family and faith, even writing a book titled "Gay the Pray Away" challenging the church's stance on sexuality. Yet despite constructing these new identities, something was still missing.

The turning point came through cancer—not as something God saved her from, but as what God used to save her life.

This conversation offers hope to anyone questioning who they truly are. As Erika puts it: "If you allow your constructed identities to crumble, as scary as it may feel, what you're going to find is an even more solid ground underneath—that you are a child of God."
