He Had Cancer at 19…Then This Happened!
Podcast: The Angela Atkins Podcast
Guest: Pastor Steve Hannett
In this powerful and deeply biblical episode of The Angela Atkins Podcast, Angela welcomes Pastor Steve Hannett—pastor, author, teacher, and founder of Gospel Mission Network—for an in-depth conversation on healing, salvation, spiritual authority, and the living, God-breathed Word of God.
Pastor Steve shares his life-changing testimony of being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 19 and how an encounter with Jesus—through Scripture and prayer—led to him being saved and healed at the same time. Doctors later confirmed there was no trace of cancer, a moment that set the course for his ministry and passion for teaching believers how to stand on what Jesus finished at the cross.
Together, Angela and Pastor Steve unpack:
Why healing is part of the gospel, not a side doctrine
How misunderstanding Scripture and mixing it with worldly beliefs creates confusion
The difference between suffering under the curse and suffering for righteousness’ sake
Why God does not discipline His children with sickness
How Jesus addressed both sin and sickness through His blood and His stripes
Where sickness comes from biblically, beginning in Genesis and the fall
Why believers must receive, believe, and act on God’s Word
How to enforce Christ’s victory daily without turning healing into a formula
Why we must chase Jesus, not signs and wonders
How grief, disappointment, and unanswered questions can still lead to deeper faith and peace
Pastor Steve also brings clarity to commonly misunderstood passages such as Paul’s “thorn in the flesh”, explains the biblical meaning of shalom and sozo, and teaches why the Word of God is alive, carrying Heaven’s breath and resurrection power.
The episode concludes with a clear invitation to salvation and a faith-filled prayer for healing, encouraging listeners to stand firm on God’s promises and continue growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
