If You Build It, They Will Come
Remember that iconic line from the Field of Dreams—"If
you build it, they will come"? That’s the heartbeat of Victory
Thru Faith. This mission isn’t about me. It’s not even just about
cancer. It’s about creating something bigger: awareness. Awareness of
cholangiocarcinoma, yes—but even more, awareness that faith is still alive.
Faith is powerful. And when it’s woven together—like that three-strand cord—it
holds strong. Unbreakable. Unshakable. That’s what we’re building here.
When I started Victory Thru Faith, I had no
blueprint—just a calling. A sense that God was nudging me to speak up, to stand
in the gap, and to share both the pain and the promise of this journey. I’ve
faced a diagnosis that can shake even the strongest foundation, but I’ve found
strength not in statistics, but in scripture. Every post, every prayer, every
conversation is a brick in something greater—a place where hope lives and faith
leads.
But this isn’t a one-man mission. Victory Thru Faith
is something we’re building together. Whether you're a patient, a caregiver, a
believer, or just someone searching for hope—you belong here. Your story
matters. Your presence adds strength to this foundation. Together, we can be
that unbreakable cord: supporting each other, lifting each other, and shining
light into the dark corners of diagnosis, doubt, and discouragement. If you’re
reading this, you’re already part of it.
"Though one may be overpowered, two can
defend themselves. The cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes
4:12
This verse has anchored me more times than I can count. It
reminds me that we were never meant to face life—or illness—alone. God designed
us for connection. And when faith is woven together with love and community, it
becomes something enduring. Something unbreakable. That’s what Victory
Thru Faith represents to me: not just surviving but standing strong in
the storm—together.
The vision for the Victory Thru Faith Foundation is
simple but bold: to be a beacon of hope for those walking through the valley.
We’re here to raise awareness for cholangiocarcinoma, yes—but more than that,
we’re here to shine a light on the power of faith in the fight. We want to
build a community rooted in encouragement, prayer, and practical support.
Through blog posts, outreach, events, and partnerships, our goal is to remind
people that they’re not alone—and that victory isn’t found in perfect outcomes,
but in persevering with purpose and faith.
There will be ups and downs along this journey—but we don’t
have to walk alone. Personally, I’m working through some deep struggles,
including healing from past mistakes and trying to rebuild a relationship with
my children. In those moments, I lean on my faith and on communities like this
one. There’s real strength in being part of a group where we can share openly,
knowing someone is listening—and that heart-to-heart connection can make all
the difference.
If any of this speaks to your heart, I invite you to join
the Victory Thru Faith Facebook Community. It’s a space where we build
hope together—one story, one prayer, one day at a time. There, we share openly:
our victories, our setbacks, our quiet struggles, and the faith that carries us
through. Whether you're in the middle of the fight or walking alongside someone
who is, your voice matters. Come be part of something bigger than any one of
us—because when we build it together, hope shows up, and healing begins.
Until Tomorrow...
Steve
