In this episode of Faithful Politics, we sit down with Amy Lowe, author and managing director for fellowships and nonprofit journalism at the Emerson Collective. Amy recently released her memoir, "The Brave In-Between: Notes from the Last Room," which candidly explores her journey with stage four metastatic colon cancer and her quest to balance joy and sorrow.

Amy shares her deeply personal story, from her shocking diagnosis at age 48 to her immediate dive into treatments including chemotherapy and major surgeries. Her resilience and positive outlook, even in the face of grim statistics, are truly inspiring. Amy delves into the concept of the "last room"—a metaphor for facing life’s final stages with courage and grace—explaining how her faith and the virtues from Philippians 4:8 have been guiding lights through her darkest times.

She also opens up about her experiences with forgiveness, touching on personal challenges with infidelity and divorce, and her journey towards peace and reconciliation. Amy's reflections on finding beauty in the mundane and living fully, despite her terminal illness, provide a powerful testament to human resilience. This conversation encourages listeners to reflect on their own challenges and the sources of strength they can draw upon in difficult times.

Tune in for an emotional and inspiring discussion that will leave you with a renewed perspective on life, faith, and the power of resilience.
