Other than the Tom Hanks movie, Terminal can describe many different things, not least late-stage cancer with no cure. It also refers to final points in systems, like computer interfaces, power connections, airport gates, or a train station where one journey ends and another begins. Here, my father shares what it means to live in that terminal state. And to quote the movie that tops almost every man’s list, get busy living or get busy dying.

The Questioning Country of Cancer
In this first episode, David reflects on coming to terms with his journey through cancer and faith. Drawing wisdom from the story of Job and the moving conversation between Jesus and Little James in The Chosen, he explores what it means to live with unanswered prayers, enduring faith, and the quiet grace of walking with God through suffering. This is the beginning of a conversation about hope, struggle, and learning to end well.
David Rowe has walked with God through over forty years of ministry and more than a decade of cancer. After a heartfelt conversation with his son Jesse, he began this podcast—an offering of thoughts, stories, and theological reflections shaped by suffering and grace. As he looks back on a life of faith and ahead to the glory of what comes next, David invites us to journey with him toward ending well.
