After a bad divorce, Chad Hoffman became a Christian. He attended a number of different churches and something didn’t sit right at each. In 2006, he was diagnosed with a inoperable tumor on his brain stem. After some treatment it shrank and grew back. During this tumultuous time, he started considering what he believed about the afterlife. He took some seminary courses to get more information and learned about hermeneutics (how to interpret the bible). Armed with these tools, he began understanding that the bible taught that the dead are asleep until resurrection. He continued in his studies and discovered more about God’s nature and his coming kingdom. He still battles cancer, but since this recording a recent mri has revealed this his tumor is currently stable. Please pray for the Hoffmans as they continue in the walk with the Lord.

Hi Shaun, I was wondering if you know how Chad Hofmann is doing (episode 95). I too have a Meningioma tumour on my brain which doesn’t seem to be growing. I loved his enthusiasm and positive attitude in sharing his faith with others. I listened to this episode quite a while ago and often wonder how he is. Blessings, Marlene Nunn New Zealand
This is the last I saw from his wife back in Jan.
“Chad is doing ok thank you. He just had his 116th chemo infusion treatment last week. He had almost a 6 month hiatus due to inflamed liver and issues with his kidneys (all caused by the chemo). He is looking forward to retirement that’s for sure.”
