Jay Hewitt is a pastor, author, and motivational speaker. At the age of thirty-seven, he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, but despite the prognosis, he drew strength from his faith in God and embraced his calling as a storyteller—sharing his remarkable journey of striving to participate in the Ironman Triathlon while fighting cancer. Together with his wife and daughter, he continues to inspire others with his resilience, unwavering faith, and empowering messages, reminding us of the limitless strength we possess.   Quotes “I've always used story as a driving force in my preaching and as a storyteller. God has given me a pretty remarkable story to tell.” - Jay Hewitt “All of these waves of life were just crashing all around me, and Jesus spoke to my soul and said, ‘Be still.' And it obeyed him, and the grace that that was for me was unbelievable.” - Jay Hewitt “I now move forward in life knowing whatever I face—because I still have a terminal disease, there are still so many scary things that I'm facing—I know that if God is with me and if He's displaying His strength through my weakness, I can still accomplish the callings that He has put on my life.” - Jay Hewitt “Every time that I prayed for God to give me strength and to help me, He sent me one of His people. Now when I'm really struggling and I pray the one word prayer, ‘Help,' I look around to see who God is sending to help me. I also hope that God will use me and will send me to help others.” - Jay Hewitt “I am strong because I want to help people learn to not only bear others' burdens, but to allow people to bear their burdens, to find a way to admit how weak they are so that they can become strong. Not only will they experience God's strength, they'll also experience God's love.” - Jay Hewitt “God's going to put dreams in your heart and a calling on your life. Do not be surprised when the enemy tries to steal those dreams and calling and kill your faith. Hold on to the hope of Jesus in His power. Get up, stay strong, and press on. I promise you, you will experience and see that nothing is impossible for God.” - Jay Hewitt   Guest's Links Jay Hewitt's website Jay Hewitt's Instagram Jay Hewitt's Facebook   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Dunkin' Donuts Ironman Triathlon   Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

Jay Hewitt, a pastor, speaker, author, and Ironman competitor, shares his remarkable journey of resilience and faith after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Rather than succumbing to despair, Jay set himself a seemingly impossible goal—to complete an Ironman triathlon while undergoing cancer treatment. He dedicated this feat to his young daughter, hoping to show her that if he could face tough challenges, she could too. Jay chose to compete in an Ironman as a personal testament to a lesson the Lord had taught him: that true strength is found in weakness. Through his story, Jay reflects on the power of vulnerability, gratitude, and the strength found in community support. He also challenges the common belief that "everything happens for a reason," instead focusing on how God works good in all circumstances. Jay's story encourages listeners to face adversity head-on and reminds us that, even in suffering, we can live a life that truly matters. By embracing vulnerability with God and others, Jay demonstrates how hope can carry us through life's greatest challenges. In this episode, you will discover: How admitting our weakness can open the door to God's strength. The significance of gratitude in finding joy, even in the face of suffering. Why being vulnerable with God and others is crucial for emotional healing and peace. How seeking support from your community can provide strength during difficult times. Jay's insights on resilience and how faith can sustain us, even in the midst of a terminal illness. The power of holding onto hope and what it means for navigating adversity. Why living a life that matters and positively impacting others is a meaningful goal. … and much more.

Perhaps you are facing a time in your life where the world around you seems to be crumbling, and your heart is heavy with the weight of unexpected trials. How, in the midst of our struggles, can we remain steadfast, continue to show up, and face each day with courage and resolve when the pain and fear threaten to steal any last shred of hope we have? Our guests this week believe that every challenge, every hardship, is a part of God's grand design. They found strength in the belief that their trials were not random occurrences, but purposeful events, shaping them, refining them, and guiding them toward a deeper understanding of God's love for us.  Jay Hewitt, a pastor in Southern California, found out at 37 years old that he had a malignant brain tumor. What could have sent him into a tailspin fueled him to do something that seemed counterintuitive to someone who would face months of chemo and treatments that would weaken his body: he decided to run an Ironman race. What he learned in this process about his faith and his relationship with God changed his perspective and gave him an appreciation for how God works through our suffering like he'd never had before. Amanda Held Opelt, a seasoned author, speaker, and songwriter, focuses on faith, grief, and creativity. With fifteen years of experience in non-profit and humanitarian work, she's seen the human love that rises above and surrounds a hurting community—and the hope that gets rediscovered after seemingly, your life is destroyed.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Meg Apperson Upcoming interview: Jana Monroe   Jay Hewitt IRONMAN race Grade II Astrocytoma 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV ABC's Wide World of Sports Nehemiah 8:10 NIV I Am Weak, I Am Strong: Building a Resilient Faith for a Resilient Life   Amanda Held Opelt Matthew 26: 36-46 NIV www.amandaheldopelt.com Holy Unhappiness   Interview Quotes: “I'd wrestled with God plenty of times before, and I think that real strength comes from wrestling. When you wrestle with God, He strengthens your inner being.” - Jay Hewitt “I've got the grace that I need to get through this. Somehow, I'm going to get to experience God's power being demonstrated through my weakness. And not only that, but I'm going to get to experience the paradox of faith that it's when I'm weak, that I'm strong.” - Jay Hewitt  “Any time there's a large obstacle ahead of you, there's great opportunities within that obstacle.” - Jay Hewitt  “In His power, get up, stay strong, and press on and see the dreams that God has given you be fulfilled in your life.” - Jay Hewitt “I'm passionate about how the experience of loss or hardship becomes integrated into a person's story—how it makes them who they are, how it impacts their relationship with God and with others, and how people rise up and move forward in the aftermath of grief or a disaster.” - Amanda Held Opelt “I got to witness what happens when people show up for other people when we live as neighbors and offer ourselves and offer resources to one another and come alongside one another in those spaces of lack.” - Amanda Held Opelt  “We are given these holy songs of lament as a form of worship, because part of being human made in the image of God, is to suffer pain, and in fact, God Himself is a highly emotive God.” - Amanda Held Opelt  “I think part of the reason I believe lament is such a high form of worship is that to me, worship is just any time we stand in agreement with God about what is true, about who He is, and who we are, and when we cry out to Him because the world is not as it should be, when we lament injustice and violence, or when we weep over death.” - Amanda Held Opelt “I think what God really wants with us, where He knows the blessing is, is in intimacy. He wants a relationship with us, and that's where we find the blessing. Relationship with God, intimacy with God, is something He offers to all of us, and sometimes it's actually the path of pain or those uncomfortable emotions. It's the path of lack that brings us into a deeper, richer intimacy with God.” - Amanda Held Opelt “I love committing to rhythms of prayer and scripture reading, because those practices serve as a safeguard to us when our emotions aren't really feeling connected to God. When we have these habits, they make space for our faith, even when our faith feels small.” - Amanda Held Opelt  “I think grief will still feel like grief, loss is still going to feel like loss, no matter our commitment to the spiritual disciplines. God doesn't always take away that heavy burden we are carrying, but I do believe He gives us the strength that we need to carry it.” - Amanda Held Opelt  “My prayer is that as a Christian, I would not be someone who's just marked so much by my happiness, but more that I would be a person who is marked by hope.” - Amanda Held Opelt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Jay Hewitt shares his testimony of how, against all odds, he became an Iron Man Triathlete while battling brain cancer and gaining the title IronDad. You can watch the online version of this message by clicking here.  

Jay Hewitt was my youth pastor growing up and was very influential to me as a young adult. His story is one filled with hardship, adversity, and challenge. But it's also one that's filled with hope, courage and faith, and a deep love for his family. He is an inspiration to many in the way he has shown up through the most difficult of circumstances to prove that no matter how hard life might get, if we trust and have faith in our connection to something greater than ourselves, we can continue to show up and inspire possibility in those around us. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Jay Hewitt is a pastor at Friends Church in Orange, California and is also training for the Ironman race, a grueling 140 mile ultra-triathlon consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run. What is ordinarily an extremely challenging feat, one that is only completed by less than 1% of people wordwide, is particularly challenging for Jay, as he faces an untreatable brain cancer diagnosis. Tune in to hear about how Jay found faith while in the midst of struggle early in his life, the tumultuous treatments in light of his diagnosis, and how he has chosen to embrace a philosophy of living life to the fullest to instill lessons of resilience and endurance in his 5-year-old daughter.
