Battling Cancer for the Fourth Time: The Dylan Mandell Interview
The Bryce Crawford Podcast
Speaker: Bryce Crawford, with Dylan Mandell
September 22, 2025 · 1 hr 6 min
Summary
Dylan Mandel, diagnosed with cancer four times, shares how faith in Christ's resurrection and identity in God sustains him through suffering. Rather than viewing his illnesses as abandonment, he encounters God's presence most powerfully in moments of complete weakness, discovering that spiritual victory comes through surrender and Bible-centered resistance to the enemy's lies about his identity.
Highlights
I'm more convinced of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ than even looking at an x-ray scan of cancer in my body. That's truth to me.
The only thing that makes us able to get hurt by the devil is when we actually start believing the lies. God doesn't give power to the enemy; we give him power when we agree with him.
I am so grateful for cancer because it led me to fear God and be surrendered to him. God doesn't just let his children suffer to suffer—there's purpose in it.
