Matt knows that God allowed him to have cancer (this tumor supposedly has been growing for about 20 yrs). He simply believes that God orchestrates all things. I attend The Village Church and I just wanted to reassure @bertamus11 and @hmala that I have often heard Matt express extreme gratefulness and appreciation toward his doctors and the rest of medical staff that have been involved in his treatment. I'm sure he's thanked them often for their hard work.

@bertamus11 - Yes I agree with this comment. Exactly. Did god not give him the brain cancer in the first place? And where is the praise and credit for incredible modern science and the superhero doctors who worked so hard. These doctors studied half their lives to save other's lives. Maybe study some science and biology to appreciate the wonders of science. Without it you wouldn't here nor would most of us. Do you know anyone with polio? Well you can thank science for that.

I'm hoping the best for you two. I wish only the best...but don't you think that instead of thanking your imaginary friend, you should really give credit where credit is due? (to the doctors, the chemo, etc..) The ten commandments, etc. are all really good things to abide by, but we're a little old for imaginary friends, no? Probably not. I think you're way past rational thinking and really deep into your "faith". Oh well, good luck. Chin up Matt!

Lauren, I was blessed by that word.  Thanks you for allowing God to use you! May God continue to keep you and sustain you!!!

Lauren thank you so much for sharing your life with us! Through your struggle you are such a wonderful example of the proverbs 31 woman. Thank you!

@gisabella1 Might I encourage you to listen to Matt's easter sermon? It's only about a half an hour; if you google Matt Chandler Colossians Part 6 you should find it.
