About this Episode:
Pastor Diego Mesa of Abundant Living Family Church in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, was a picture of health, running marathons, and leading a 16,000-member congregation. He was also overseeing the construction of a multi-million dollar campus, and often preaching seven times a week, when he received a shocking diagnosis: stage 4 kidney cancer. Despite his active lifestyle and peak physical condition, the diagnosis in 2008 marked the beginning of an intense journey. Medical experts told him he had between one and six years to live, but Pastor Diego was determined to fight. This battle was not just physical, but also mental and spiritual. Join James for a truly inspirational interview and discover how Pastor Diego transformed his life and continues to beat the odds holistically all these years later.
