He’s About to Fight Cancer Again: The Road Before Surgery with Dylan Mandel | Jesus People Ep 40

On this Highway 1 “Road Trip Edition,” Dylan Mandel, recently re-diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time, opens up about expecting a miracle, living from the quiet place with Jesus, and walking in spiritual authority. From cliff jumps and steaks-for-breakfast to late-night intercession on a plane, Dylan shares why a scan won’t define his identity or dilute his faith. 

We unpack Ephesians 3:20 (“far more abundantly”), the Centurion’s faith that made Jesus marvel, renewing the mind (Romans 12:2), and what real masculinity looks like: surrendered prayer when no one’s watching. If you’re battling fear, uncertainty, or illness, this conversation points you back to intimacy with God, surrendered timing, and bold, expectant prayer.

Key Highlights:

• Fourth cancer diagnosis, and choosing faith over fear in real time
  
  
• “This year is Mine”: intimacy with Jesus as the source of all fruit
  
  
• When scans and faith collide: renewing the mind (Romans 12:2)
  
  
• Spiritual warfare & identity: fighting back with the Word
  
  
• Kingdom authority: living on offense (Matthew 28:18–20)
  
  
• Ephesians 3:20 hope: God is able to do more than we ask or imagine
  
  
• Masculinity redefined: prayer > performance (airplane intercession story)
  
  
• A prayer for listeners: unity, healing, and surrendered timing
