In this episode of The Justin Prince Show, Justin sits down with Matt Ode a former personal trainer whose life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at just 24 years old. From 185 pounds of muscle to 110 pounds of survival, Matt’s journey is one of unimaginable pain, near-death experiences, and, ultimately, unbreakable faith.

Matt shares:

• What it felt like to hear the words “you have cancer”
• The emotional weight of trying to stay strong for others
• How faith in Jesus and daily discipline became his anchor
• Why he believes adversity happens for us, not to us
• The power of mindset, presence, and purpose through life’s hardest moments

This isn’t just a story about surviving cancer it’s about discovering a deeper mission, unlocking your inner resilience, and learning how to live fully, even in the face of death.
