ESP Ep. 62 Rebekah & Chris Mancino

In this deeply moving episode, we welcome back Chris Mancino alongside his wife, Rebekah, for the first time. While listeners have heard Chris’s story in episodes 20 and 21, this conversation adds powerful new layers through Rebekah’s voice. Together, they recount the life-altering cancer diagnosis that struck shortly after their marriage—an unexpected trial that tested their faith, love, and resilience in the face of mortality.

The episode also explores Rebekah’s background—from her upbringing traveling the word, to global missions, and the deep personal foundations that prepared her for life’s most painful turns. Through stories of sacrifice, identity, and perseverance, this conversation offers a raw yet hope-filled testimony of what it means to be refined through trials, molded like clay in the Potter’s hands, and to find peace even when pressed on every side. Enjoy!”
