Hope, Healing, and Community: The Inspiring Story of Matt and Chrissy Stewart
Season 12: Ep. 545
Longtime partners, parents of three, and now both cancer survivors, Chrissy and Matt Stewart’s journey is one of resilience, faith, and the power of choosing hope in the face of adversity. Diagnosed within months of each other—Chrissy with angiosarcoma and Matt with colorectal cancer—they turned their trials into testimony, leaning on family, community, and kindness to carry them through. Their story reflects how even in life’s hardest seasons, love and purpose can shine brighter than fear, inspiring others to live fully in each moment.
