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
