S1E2 Joan LeFluer: "Why NOT me?"

from Great News Podcast Hosted by One Media Missions

“Why NOT me?” That’s the question Joan asked, not from a place of despair, but from faith. In this episode of Great News, we sit down with a woman who is dying of cancer, on hospice, with weeks to live. She speaks with courage, peace, and stunning clarity about suffering, trust, and what truly matters. When she was first diagnosed, she was angry, “Why me?” But while reading the Passion of Christ, thinking of Jesus and of Mary standing at the foot of the Cross, her question changed. Why not me? This is not a sad episode. It’s a real one. A faithful one. A peaceful one. It’s about learning how to live—from someone who is dying. If you’ve ever struggled with suffering, wrestled with God, or felt distracted from what matters most, this conversation will stop you in your tracks and gently reorder your priorities. 🎧 Listen now. And let Joan’s witness invite you to trust Jesus first and live with intention today. Great News Podcast is a mission partnership of The Diocese of Lafayette, Catholic Charities of Acadiana, and One Media Missions. It is a missionary effort of Lafayette's Great Novena: www.greatnovenalafayette.com
