## Episode 3 of the Relentless Hope Podcast

The Relentless Hope Podcast, hosted by Steve Gatena, founder of PRAY.COM shares vulnerable testimonies from the world's most passionate Christian leaders who overcame extreme trials through God's faithfulness.

In this episode, Pastor Billy Heather teaches us that sometimes problems and seasons of darkness are needed, so that we can see what truly matters in life. We learn how Pastor Billy came to this lesson after being diagnosed with stage 4 testicular cancer at just 21-years old, and being told by his doctors that they couldn’t save him. He teaches us that God places us in the situations where He can develop our lives.
